Conditions to extend the electrical
step:
1) The vehicle is stopped.
2) The shift gear is in N (Neutral).
3) Either the parking brake or the
foot brake is applied.
The electrical step automatically
retracts in from the “extending-out”
position, when the conditions 1 and 2
are unsatisfied.
When the electrical step is extend-
ed out, the accelerator inter-lock
operates to block the vehicle
acceleration for your safety.
NOTICE
Convenient features of your vehicle
Never move the shift lever,
when any passengers exit or
enter the vehicle through the
mid sliding door. In this situa-
tion, shifting the gear out of N
(Neutral) causes the electrical
step to abruptly retract and the
passengers to fall from it, caus-
ing the serious body injury.
Always make sure that all pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehi-
cle, before shifting the gear.
WARNING
If you do not use the grab han-
dle and the step, you could
injure yourself when getting in
and out of the vehicle.
To prevent risks:
•
Draw the passengers' atten-
tion to the electrical step. Wait
until the electrical step is fully
extended.
•
Do not jump out of the vehi-
cle.
•
Only use the grab handle and
step. Only they are designed
for such a load.
•
Keep grab handles, access
steps and entry sills free from
dirt, e.g. mud, clay, snow and
ice.
