USING POWER RUNNING BOARDS
WARNING: In extreme climates,excessive ice buildup may occur, causingthe running boards not to deploy. Makesure that the running boards havedeployed, and have finished moving beforeattempting to step on them. The runningboards will resume normal function oncethe blockage is cleared.
WARNING: Switch off the runningboards before jacking or placing any objectunder your vehicle. Never place your handbetween the extended running board andyour vehicle. A moving running board maycause injury.
Note:Do not use the running boards, frontand rear hinge assemblies, running boardmotors, or the running board underbodymounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.Always use proper jacking points.
Note:The running boards may operate moreslowly in cool temperatures.
Note:The running board mechanism maytrap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice andsalt. This may cause unwanted noise. If thishappens, manually set the running boardsto the deployed position. Then, wash thesystem, in particular the front and rear hingearms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.
Automatic Power Deploy
The running boards automatically extenddown and out when you open the door. Thiscan help you enter and exit your vehicle.
For vehicles with intelligent access, theremote control determines your proximity tothe vehicle. As the remote control entersapproximately 8.9 ft (2.7 m) of the vehicle,some exterior lights illuminate and the powerrunning boards deploy automatically. Inaddition to deploying on both sides of thevehicle, there is illumination around thepower running boards. The deployment isconfigurable in the advanced settings of theinformation display. If the configuration isturned off, the power running boards do notautomatically deploy.
Note:Automatic power deploy approachdetection does not unlock or lock the vehicle.It also does not interfere with the alarmsystem.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the doors, the runningboards return to the stowed position after atwo-second delay.
