Power Running Boards

POWER RUNNING BOARD
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: In extreme climates,
excessive ice buildup may occur, causing
the running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving
before attempting to step on them. The
running boards will resume normal
function once the blockage is cleared.
WARNING: Switch off the 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.
Do not use the running boards, front and
rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Use proper jacking points.
The running boards could move slower in
cold temperatures.

Auto
The power running boards deploy when
you approach your vehicle with a remote
control, unlock the door or open the door.
The power running boards stow:
• After a few seconds when you close
the doors.
• If you unlock the door but do not open
it.
• If you have switched Approach
detection on and do not open a door
before the Auto Timer setting expires.
Note: When you select this mode, an option
displays that allows you to select how long
the running boards stay deployed without
opening the door.
Out
The power running boards remain
deployed, regardless of door position. The
power running boards stow when the
vehicle speed is more than 3 mph
(5 km/h), and the mode changes to Auto.
You need to select Out mode again if you
want the power running boards to stay
deployed at the end of each trip.
Approach detection
When you switch Approach detection on
with Auto switched on, the running boards
deploy when you approach your vehicle
with a remote control.
POWER RUNNING BOARD
KICK SWITCH
You can use the power running board kick
switch to deploy and stow the running
board without opening or closing the door.
