USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
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.
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 board extends when
you open the door.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the door, the power
running board returns to the stowed
position after a two-second delay.
Manual Power Deploy
You can manually operate the power
running boards in the information display.

You can switch autowipers off in the
information display. If you switch
autowipers off, the windshield wipers
operate in intermittent mode.
High sensitivity.
A
Autowipers on.
B
Low sensitivity.
C
Move the wiper lever upward to the first
position to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a small amount
of water on the windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and
the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or
insects hit the windshield.
If you leave autowipers on, it may not
operate when you switch the ignition on
during freezing temperatures. This is
because the system has deactivated the
rain sensor to prevent damage to the
windshield wipers. Defrost the windshield
before reactivating the rain sensor. You
can reactivate the rain sensor by moving
the rotary control or switching autowipers
off and on. Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Wet or winter weather conditions could
cause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.
• Switch autowipers off.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
246).
WINDSHIELD WASHERS Pull the lever toward you to operate the
windshield washers. When you release the
lever, the wipers operate for a short time.
Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.
