●
Check to make sure that all pas-
sengers and people in the vehi-
cle's surrounding area do not
have a hand on the step or any
part of their body in a position
where it could be caught
between the step and the vehi-
cle when the power bed step is
being operated.
●
Confirm that the step has com-
pletely deployed or stowed
before getting in or out of the
vehicle. If someone gets in or
out of the vehicle during power
bed step operation, the step
may stop deploying or stowing.
●
Take care when pressing the
power steps switch. The step
will deploy or stow and may hit
other people or objects.
●
Always check that the power
steps switch is turned off when
cleaning the step, before jack-
ing up or placing any object
under the vehicle, or if the step
is not operating correctly.
●
Do not allow children to operate
the power bed step. Operating
power bed step so that a step
contacts someone can cause
serious injury, and in some
instances, even death.

tions. Failure to do so may cause
