Power running boards

POWER RUNNING BOARD PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:  In extreme climates, excessive ice buildup may occur, causing the running boards not to deploy. Make sure that the running boards have deployed, and have finished moving before attempting to step on them. The running boards will resume normal function once the blockage is cleared.    WARNING:  Switch off the running boards before jacking or placing any object under your vehicle. Never place your hand between the extended running board and your vehicle. A moving running board may cause injury.

Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies, running board motors, or the running board underbody mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking. Use proper jacking points.

The running boards could move slower in cold temperatures.

RUNNING BOARDS (MODES)

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.
• If you unlock the door but do not open it.
• If you have switched Approach detection on and do not open a door before the Auto Timer setting expires.

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.

APPROACH DETECTION

When you switch Approach detection on with Auto switched on, the running boards deploy when you approach your vehicle with a remote control.

DEPLOYING AND STOWING THE POWER RUNNING BOARDS

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

The power running boards stow:

• When the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h).
• 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.See   . 

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.

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.
