You might worry that it&#8217;ll feel like driving a giant bus instead of a regular vehicle. This gap in confidence can hold your team back from reaching people who need help in places like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/winter-safety-for-first-nations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">snowy streets of Winnipeg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the hilly roads of Halifax. If your drivers don&#8217;t feel comfortable, they might hesitate to take the van out, which means someone misses a life-saving checkup. It&#8217;s a heavy feeling when you want to help but feel limited by the tools in your hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your team masters these controls, they feel empowered to navigate any neighbourhood. They stop seeing a machine and start seeing a way to bring dignity and health to their friends and neighbours.

Imagine a driver named Sarah who works for a non-profit in a busy city like Toronto. She used to drive an old van where the key got stuck, and the buttons were hard to reach. She felt stressed before she even picked up her first passenger. When her team switched to a new van, everything changed. Learning how to use the driving controls in a RAM ProMaster made her feel like a pro. She could focus on her passengers&#8217; smiles instead of worrying about how to start the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start the engine in your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vehicleinfo.mopar.com\/assets\/publications\/en-us\/Ram\/2024\/ProMaster\/103645_24_VF_OH_EN_USC_DIGITAL_E2_V1.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAM ProMaster<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the process is very simple. You don&#8217;t even need to fumble with a metal key in a dark ignition slot. As long as the key fob is inside the van with you, you are ready to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these quick steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Foot on the brake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Place your right foot firmly on the brake pedal. This is a safety step that tells the van you&#8217;re ready to drive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Push the button:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look to the right of the steering column. You&#8217;ll see a round button that says Start\/Stop. Give it one firm press.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Listen for the hum:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The engine will purr to life, and your dashboard screens will light up to show you&#8217;re ready for the road.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What other controls will you find?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the engine is running, you have a world of helpful tools right at your fingertips. The steering wheel isn&#8217;t just for turning; it&#8217;s like a remote control for your whole van. This helps drivers keep their eyes on the road, which is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/wheelchair-van-ramp-safety-features\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much safer for everyone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Menu arrows:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On the left side of the steering wheel, you&#8217;ll find small arrows. These let you click through the menu on your dashboard. You can check your fuel level, see how many kilometres you&#8217;ve driven, or even check your tire pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cruise control:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On the right side, you&#8217;ll find the cruise control buttons. These are great for long highway drives between towns like Red Deer and Edmonton. You can set your speed so your foot can rest, which helps you stay fresh and alert.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Voice commands:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most new models have a little button with a face on it. If you push this, you can talk to the van to make phone calls or change the music without taking your hands off the wheel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind the steering wheel, you have two main levers. These are very easy to reach while you&#8217;re holding the wheel. On the left side, the lever controls your signal lights so people know where you&#8217;re going. On the right side, the lever is for your windshield wipers. Many of these vans even have rain sensors. This means the wipers can turn on all by themselves when it starts to drizzle!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your drivers feel like the van is helping them, they stay happier at work. Using the driving controls in a RAM ProMaster helps alleviate the stress of technology, allowing your team to focus on what <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/dilemme-des-organisations-a-but-non-lucratif-avec-des-vehicules-accessibles\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">truly matters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: providing healthcare and\/or transporting people to their destinations with dignity and care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the engine is humming and you know your way around the wheel, let&#8217;s talk about how to handle the brakes and windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do the park brake and power window controls work in a RAM ProMaster van?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/regulations\/C.R.C.%2C_c._1038\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and comfort go hand in hand when you\u2019re behind the wheel. Imagine a driver named Mike who helps seniors in a hilly area, such as St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland. When he stops the van to help a passenger out, he needs to know the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/wheelchair-accessible-van-laws-regulations-you-should-know-about\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vehicle won&#8217;t budge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He also wants to make sure the air inside is just right so his passengers feel relaxed. Knowing how to use the driving controls in a RAM ProMaster helps Mike feel in control of the environment. This peace of mind allows him to provide the best care possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The layout of these controls is very thoughtful. Most of what you need for the doors and the brakes is right by your left hand. This keeps the center of the van open and easy to move around in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How do you manage these features?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Power window buttons:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are located right on the driver\u2019s side door armrest. You can roll your window down to grab some fresh air or talk to a coworker outside with just one touch. There are buttons for the passenger side window here, too, so you don&#8217;t have to reach across the van.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Electronic park brake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In older vans, you might remember a big lever on the floor or a pedal by your left foot. The RAM ProMaster uses a modern button instead. You will find it on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Setting the brake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To turn the park brake on, you must have your foot pressed firmly on the main brake pedal. Then, you simply pull the button toward you. A red light will pop up on your dashboard to let you know the van is secure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Releasing the brake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When it\u2019s time to head to your next stop, keep your foot on the brake and push the button down. The red light will turn off, and you are ready to roll.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What controls are in the centre driver\u2019s console?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have the windows and brakes figured out, you can look at the middle of the dashboard. This is called the center console. It\u2019s where you control how the van feels and sounds. It\u2019s important to keep the van at a good temperature, especially during a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/comparing-wheelchair-van-heating-and-cooling-systems-in-canada\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cold Canadian winter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a humid summer day in Southern Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Climate controls:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Large dials make it simple to adjust the heat or the air conditioning. You can turn the fan up or down without having to look away from the road for long. This helps keep your passengers comfy and prevents windows from fogging up.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Volume knob:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is a physical knob for the radio volume. This is much easier to use than trying to tap a screen while driving. You can quickly turn the music down if a passenger needs to talk to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hazard lights:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The button with the red triangle is right in the middle. If you need to pull over to help someone, hitting this button turns on your four-way flashers so other drivers see you clearly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Traction control:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll also see a button for traction control here. This system helps the tires grip the road if it\u2019s slippery. It\u2019s a huge help when you\u2019re navigating slushy streets in Winnipeg or a muddy road in rural Nova Scotia.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your drivers understand these driving controls in a RAM ProMaster, they don&#8217;t have to hunt for buttons. Everything is right where it should be. This creates a calm ride for the driver and a dignified experience for the people in the back. Helping people get around safely is a big job, and these tools make that job a little lighter every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, we\u2019ll look at how to keep your devices powered up and where to find the extra outlets in the van.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What about power outlets and connectivity in a RAM ProMaster?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your devices charged is a big part of staying connected today. Think about a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/mobile-medical-vans-advantages\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile medical team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> travelling through rural parts of Saskatchewan. They might need to keep a tablet charged to look at patient files or keep a phone ready for emergency calls. If a device dies, it creates a gap in the care they can provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It feels frustrating when you want to help someone, but your tools aren&#8217;t ready. Learning about the driving controls in a RAM ProMaster includes knowing where all your power sources are located. This ensures your team can keep its focus on the community instead of a low battery warning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RAM ProMaster vans we use for wheelchair and mobile medical applications are built to keep you powered up all day long. You\u2019ll find a variety of plugs on the right side of the center console. This makes it easy for the driver or a person in the passenger seat to plug things in quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What power outlets will your team find?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>USB chargers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are perfect for your phone or a small tablet. You just plug your cord right in, and your device starts charging while you drive to your next stop.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>12-volt DC outlet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the round plug that looks like a traditional car charger. It is great for things like a GPS unit or older tools that use that specific type of power cord.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>115-volt AC outlet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a very special feature. It looks just like the wall plug you have at home! This is a game-changer because you can plug in a laptop or other small pieces of equipment that need a standard household plug to work.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having these options means your team can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/source-dalimentation-externe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stay out in the field<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> longer.

Whether you are in a busy city or a quiet town, these driving controls in a RAM ProMaster make sure you have the energy you need to keep going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that technology can sometimes feel a bit much.
