Power Assist Steps

da
mage, before entering or exiting the
vehicle, be sure the power assist step is fully
extended.Do not step on the power assist
step while it is moving. Never place hands
or other body parts between the extended
power assist step and the vehicle.
If equipped, the power assist steps, when
enabled, will extend when the door is opened.
They will retract three seconds after the
door is closed or immediately if the vehicle
starts moving.
Disable the power assist steps before jacking
or placing any object under the vehicle. Too
much ice buildup may prevent deployment
of the power assist steps. Check the step
position before exiting the vehicle. If this
happens, disable the power assist steps, clear
th
e ice, then enable the assist steps and confirm
normal function prior to use.
Keep hands, children, pets, objects, and
clothing clear of the power assist steps when in
motion. The steps will reverse direction if there
is an obstruction. If possible, carefully remove
the obstruction, then open and close the door
on the same side to complete the motion.
After obstacle detection, the boards will remain
in their previous position (Extend/Stow) until
another motion is requested. If the obstacle is
not cleared and another motion is requested,
the boards will make contact with the obstacle
and then reverse to the previous position.
During automatic deployment, awarning
will be displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) only when the running boards
are obstructed.
