Running Boards (Modes)

Note:   When the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h), the option to select the modes disables, to avoid unintended operation.

Note:   The power running boards reverse direction and move to the end of travel if they encounter an object when moving. Keep the power running boards and brackets clean for optimum performance.

Off

The power running boards remain stowed, regardless of door position.

Auto

The power running boards deploy when you approach your vehicle with a remote control, unlock the door or open the door.

The power running boards stow:

  • After a few seconds when you close the doors.
  • Instantly after you close and lock the doors.
  • If you unlock the door but do not open it, after the timeout.
  • If you have switched Approach detection on and do not open a door before the Auto Timer setting expires.
  • When the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h).

Note:   When you select this mode, an option displays that allows you to select how long the running boards stay deployed without opening the door.

Out

The power running boards remain deployed, regardless of door position. The power running boards stow when the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h), and the mode changes to Auto. You need to select Out mode again if you want the power running boards to stay deployed at the end of each trip.

DEPLOYING AND STOWING THE POWER RUNNING BOARDS

The power running boards deploy when you open the door and stow when you close the door.

Note:   The power running boards reverse direction and move to the end of travel if they encounter an object when moving.

POWER RUNNING BOARDS – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there unwanted noise coming from my power running boards?

  • The power running board mechanism could trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and salt. If this happens, set the running boards to the deployed position. Wash the system, in particular the front and rear hinge arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.
