USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
WARNINGS
In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur causing the
running boards not to deploy. The
running boards will resume normal
function once the blockage is cleared.
Do not step on the running boards
before they have fully deployed.
Switch off the running boards before
using the vehicle jack or placing any
object under your vehicle.
Do not place your hand between an
extended running board and your
vehicle, this could result in serious
personal injury.
Do not use the running boards, hinge
assemblies, motors or the running
board underbody mountings to raise
your vehicle. You must use the specified
jacking points.
Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. To
overcome this issue manually deploy the
running boards and wash the system with
a high-pressure washing system, in
particular the hinge assemblies.
