Power Board Modes
Note:   When the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h), the option to select the modes disables to avoid unintended operation.
Note:   The power running boards reverse direction and move to the end of travel if they encounter an object when moving. Keep the power running boards and brackets clean for optimum performance.
Off
The power running boards remain stowed, regardless of door position.
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.
  • Instantly after you close and lock the doors.
  • If you unlock the door but do not open it, after the timeout.
  • If you have switched approach detection on and do not open a door before the auto timer setting expires.
  • When the vehicle speed is more than 3 mph (5 km/h).
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. 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.
