USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
WARNINGS
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. 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. Note:
Do not use the power running boards,
front and rear hinge assemblies, running
board motors or the running board
underbody mounts to lift your vehicle when
jacking. Always use proper jacking points.
Note: The power running boards may
operate more slowly in cool temperatures.
Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the power running
boards to the deployed position. Then wash
the system in particular the front and rear
hinge arms with a high-pressure car wash
wand.
Note: If you drive off when the power
running boards are deployed the engine may
stop.
Note: In the event of a malfunction you can
stow the power running boards manually. Automatic Power Deploy
The power running boards automatically
extend down and out when you open the
door. This can help you enter and exit your
vehicle.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the doors, the power
running boards return to the stowed
position after a two-second delay.
Manual Power Deploy
You can manually operate the power
running boards in the information display.
See General Information (page 85).
