The Paravan gear control works from a simple, four button touch pad that is available as a standalone unit or as part of the Space Drive equipment range. The unit can be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, allowing it to be fitted in the best place for the driver’s optimum comfort, abilities and within easy reach of other hand controls. A valuable, user-friendly adaptation for the disabled driver to easily operate the gears at the touch of a button.
The touch pads consist of four buttons to control Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive. It is possible in selected vehicles, to have up to three more gear positions utilized through programming the touchpad during installation. For example, if the vehicle has two extra driving modes (those with low range or sports mode etc.) these modes can be accessed by pressing the Drive button in a sequence. pressing the Drive button once will put the vehicle into the usual drive mode. Pressing Drive again will engage the next mode and pressing one more time will engage the last mode. Simply press a fourth time to time to re-engage normal drive mode. Allowing the full potential and characteristics of these vehicles to be experienced.
To ensure maximum safety for driver and passengers, the gear selector will only engage if the brake is depressed. This eliminates the possibility of unintentionally changing gear if any of the touch pad buttons are accidently pressed whilst the vehicle is in motion. The compact touch pad will also illuminate to aid night time driving, with interchangeable colours to add a personal touch.
