Power Running Boards; Using Power Running Boards - Ford Transit 2014 Owner's Manual

USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
WARNINGS
In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur, causing the
power running boards not to deploy.
Make sure that the power running boards
have deployed, and have finished moving
before attempting to step on them. The
power running boards will resume normal
function once the blockage is cleared.
Turn off the power 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 while the power power
running boards are deployed the engine will
stop.
Note: In the event of a malfunction you can
stow the power running boards manually.
