Maintenance

Dirt and frost can prevent the Thule Step from
operating properly. In this case the moving
parts should be cleaned or defrosted. Keep
the footboard clean and check the operation of
the switch regularly.

It’s possible to take out the footboard in order
to clean the step inside.

• Retract the footboard by the lever switch,

when possible not fully. Disconnect the
power to the step.

• Disconnect the 2 drive rods from the

footboard by removing the clips at the
bottomside of the footboard.

• Take away the 2 black stops with the screws

at the outside.

• Take out the footboard and clean.
• Brush the inside of the step and remove the

dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Never use a
high pressure cleaner or water.

• First reconnect the driving rods. Followed by

fixing the endstops.

In case of electrical failure

If the step does not retract by motor: it’s
possible to take out the footboard: see
maintenance. 

Note:

 Never retract or extend

the step by hand without this mechanical
disconnection.

Current drawn

The Thule Step motor uses 2A during
operation. 

Note:

 If the switch is kept pushed

when fully extended or retracted, it uses 9A.

Accessories

• Electronic control unit (308812) for

automatic extension and extraction when
opening or closing the door.

• Relay for automatic retraction (x10)

(308200) that prevents operation of the
Thule Step and keeps it retracted whilst
driving.
