After cleaning the step should be
allowed to dry. When dry, a day or
two later perhaps, apply silicons
spray to help lubricate the movement
of the step.
Do not use grease. Avoid use of oil, it
will simply wash away.
If the conditions are particularly bad
daily cleaning may be required.
Failure to clean the step regularly or
to service the steps may result in the
failure of the step in service. This will
not be covered under warranty.
We recommend that mud flaps are
fitted to your vehicle.

If you open a rear door, you
could:
•
endanger other people or road
users
•
be caught by oncoming traffic.
This is particularly the case if
you open the rear door more
than 90°. There is a risk of an
accident and injury.
Only open the rear doors when
traffic conditions permit.
Always make sure that the rear
door is properly locked.
WARNING
The rear lights will be covered if
you open the rear doors to the
90° detent position.
The vehicle will then be unsafe
as its rear lights will not be vis-
ible for approaching traffic.
Other road users may not real-
ize until too late that it is an
obstruction. This could lead to
an accident.
You should ensure that the
vehicle is visible from the rear
in accordance with the relevant
national regulations, by using
the warning triangle for
instance.
WARNING
Make sure that there is suffi-
cient clearance when opening
the rear doors. You could other-
wise damage the vehicle and
objects in close range of the
rear doors.
