Power Assist Steps
If equipped, the power assist steps
will deploy when the door is opened
and automatically retract
three seconds after the door is
closed. The power assist steps will
retract immediately if the vehicle
starts moving.
Keep hands, children, pets, objects,
and clothing clear of the power
assist steps when in motion. The
steps will reverse direction if they
encounter an obstruction when
opening or closing.
Remove the obstruction, then open
and close the door on the same side
to complete the motion of the assist
steps. If the obstruction is not
cleared, the assist steps remain
extended while driving.

message.
Lock Mode: Press and hold

four seconds to lock and disable the
power assist steps. Press and
