SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS The Kinesiotherapy Driver Rehabilitation Program not only serves the Veterans of the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center, but also provides driver rehabilitation to other VA s in the region (VA Loma Linda Healthcare System and VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System) that do not have this service. Veterans with varied functional mobility and limitations (spinal cord injury, amputation, traumatic brain injury and other) cannot be accommodated with a single type of vehicle arrangement. In addition, the Kinesiotherapy Driver Rehabilitation Program at the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center serves as one of two VA training sites in the nation providing annual training to VA clinicians seeking to become driver rehab specialists. The noted vehicle will allow clinicians to be trained in a more comprehensive manner to meet the needs of their respective facility. In selecting a vehicle to meet the needs for our clinic, the following mid-size sedans were compared: Chevy Impala, Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus. The following combinations of specs and features highlight the reasons for our vehicle selection and we feel will allow the best opportunity for our clinicians to evaluate our Veteran while meeting the needs for accessibility and standards for safety. Dodge Charger SXT PLUS-L with vehicle modifications Thinner front and rear window allow for superior driver visibility Door entry (78 open door angle and 35.2 open door to body trim entry) will allow safer accessibility (entry/exit) for users that are ambulatory or that need to transfer from their wheelchair. Combination of leg, head and shoulder will accommodate various user sizes Available space in rear is capable of store/transport durable medical equipment utilized by Veteran. The following OEM features that are useful for those individuals that may have limitations with manual dexterity of upper extremities: OEM shifter electronic features Standard power seating features Leather seating allows for easier user ingress/egress for wheelchairs users capable of transferring. Also, this surface is easier to clean and maintain for infection control purposes between multiple patients being seen. Standard blind spot and cross path detection for improved driver safety Standard compact spare tire Standard security alarm Recommended driver modifications (hand controls, removeable gas/brake modifications, secondary controls) will allow clinicians to accommodate users with varied functional levels Recommended Instructor modifications (additional mirrors, light indicators, instructor brake) will improve safety for the clinician and patient during behind the wheel training session. 4 doors, 5 passengers, rear-wheel drive; 19/30 mpg city/hwy (est) 3.6-liter V-6 engine; 292 hp, 260 lb-ft; 8-speed automatic transmission Specifications Mileage EPA Fuel Economy Est - Hwy : MPG 30 Cruising Range - City : mi 351.50 EPA Fuel Economy Est - City : MPG 19 Fuel Economy Est-Combined : MPG 23 Cruising Range - Hwy : mi 555.00 EPA MPG Equivalent - City : N/A EPA MPG Equivalent - Hwy : N/A EPA MPG Equivalent - Combined : N/A Battery Range : mi N/A Fuel Tank Fuel Tank Capacity, Approx : gal 18.5 Aux Fuel Tank Capacity, Approx : gal N/A Cargo Area Dimensions Trunk Volume : ftÂ3 16.1 Brakes Brake Type : N/A Brake ABS System : 4-Wheel Brake ABS System (Second Line) : N/A Disc - Front (Yes or ) : Yes Disc - Rear (Yes or ) : Yes Front Brake Rotor Diam x Thickness : in 12.6 Rear Brake Rotor Diam x Thickness : in 12.6 Drum - Rear (Yes or ) : Rear Drum Diam x Width : in Emissions Tons/yr of CO2 Emissions @ 15K mi/year : 7.6 EPA Greenhouse Gas Score : N/A Transmission Drivetrain : Rear Wheel Drive Trans Order Code : DFL Trans Type : 8 Trans Description Cont. : Automatic w/OD Trans Description Cont.
