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. Turn 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 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 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 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.
Automatic Power Deploy The 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 running
boards return to the stowed position after a
two-second delay.
Manual Power Deploy
You can manually operate the running
boards in the information display. See
General Information (page 102).
Set the running boards in the deployed
position to access the roof.
The running boards return to the stowed
position and enter automatic mode when the
vehicle speed exceeds
5 mph (8 km/h).
Enabling and Disabling
You can enable and disable the power
running board feature in the information
display. See General Information (page 102).
