Find  a  good  route  for  the  cable  to  the  front  of  the 
vehicle or to the area where it will be connected to 
the vehicles electrical system. The principal idea for 
the  routing  of  the  cable  loom  is  as  follows:  cable 
should  run under  the vehicle  to  a place where  you 
can enter the vehicle. Try to find a dry place for the 
4 pin connector in the cable loom inside the vehicle 
to  battery  or  power  point  and  dashboard  for 
dashboard light. The cable to the door switch should 
run directly to the door-pillar where the door switch 
is mounted. Please refer to the electrical diagrams in 
the rear of the manual appendix I.

 

There  are  two  possible  operations  of  the 
step.   
1  -  Door  switch.  Steps  moves  out 
automatically when the door opens 

  

2  -  Driver  operated  switch  on  the 
dashboard  where  the  driver  operates  the 
step. In this case, it is still recommended 
that  the  door  switch  in  installed.  Without 
the  door  switch  the  driver  could  forget  to 
close  the  step  when  the  door  is  closed, 
and drive away with an open step. 
Connect the green wire at the handbrake 
switch  or  other  signal  indicating  that  the 
vehicle  is  stationary.  You  need  a  signal 
when  the  vehicle  is  stationary.  The 
handbrake switch is not supplied with the 
step.    
For  safety  reasons  we  recommend  this 
signal is used. 

If you decide not to use this 
signal Acdeos cannot 
take any responsibility 
for any unsafe 
operation of the step.
