This guide explains how to program both driving and seating modes for Ability Drive®. The Mode Switch to access seat functions is enabled in the Ability Drive® app and can be toggled On or Off from the settings screen. When the Mode Switch is set to On, the mode button (crossing arrows) will appear on the drive screen. ATPs must ensure that the Enhanced Display is mounted up next to the eye gaze device screen and in clear view of the Ability Drive® user.
