Power Assist Steps
{Warning
To avoid personal injury or
property damage, before entering
or exiting the vehicle, be sure the
power assist step is fully
extended. Do not step on the
power assist step while it is
moving. Never place hands or
other body parts between the
extended power assist step and
the vehicle.
If equipped, the power assist steps
will deploy when the door is opened
and automatically retract
three seconds after the door is closed. The power assist steps will
retract immediately if the vehicle
starts moving.
Disable the power assist steps
before jacking or placing any object
under the vehicle. Too much ice
buildup may prevent deployment of
the power assist steps. Check the
step position before exiting the
vehicle. If this happens, disable the
power assist steps, clear the ice,
then enable the assist steps and
confirm normal function prior to use.
Keep hands, children, pets, objects,
and clothing clear of the power
assist steps when in motion. The
steps will reverse direction if they
encounter an obstruction when
opening or closing. Remove the
obstruction, then open and close the
door on the same side to complete
the motion of the assist steps. If the
obstruction is not cleared, the assist
steps remain extended while driving.
