The wheelchair has an attachment bracket on the chassis and the car has an automatic fastener on the floor that the wheelchair mounting hooks into, see related tip. The seat belt is always buckled and suspended so that the user only needs to roll forward, see related tip. An extra backrest and headrest sit behind the driver\u2019s seat and automatically move in behind the user at the touch of a button. The gear lever is bent and extended so the user can easily grasp it. The other control buttons are also modified. For example, the buttons to raise and lower the windows are extended with a small lever. Another example is the attachment button for the wheelchair and the button for the extra backrest and headrest that are located in the left side panel.<\/p>\n<p>The user controls the car with a special handle on the steering wheel and a specially designed hand control, see also related tip.<\/p>\n<p>The car key is also modified to provide a better grip for the user, see related tip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilv\"><strong>Made by<\/strong><br \/>\nHedemora Anpassning (modifications) which today is part of Star Mobility, <a href=\"https:\/\/starmobility.se\/internationell-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">starmobility.se\/internationell<\/a>, last checked August 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nSwedish Social Insurance Agency<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/1345_23_bil2_600.jpg\" alt=\"User drives in to the driver\u2019s seat, safety belt is already in place\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User drives in to the driver\u2019s seat, safety belt is already in place<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/1345_23_bil3_600.jpg\" alt=\"User sits in place with extra backrest and headrest behind her\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User sits in place with extra backrest and headrest behind her<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/1345_23_bil4_600.jpg\" alt=\"User holds the gear lever\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User holds the gear lever<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/1345_23_bil5_600.jpg\" alt=\"User with left hand on joystick that acts as &quot;brake- and gaspedal&quot;.
