Operation
4.1
Deploy Operation procedure
The step must have clearance from the vehicle. The
vehicle must have the parking brake on, and then
the step can be safely operated.
The electronics receive a signal from the door
switch or driver switch. If a door switch is installed
the step will move out automatically once the door
is opened.
Time for either the full deploy / out or the full stow /
in cycle is approximately 2.5 seconds. When the step is moving the red LED on the dashboard
will flash until the step is completely out.
If the step encounters an obstacle it automatically stops. It will move backwards for a few
centimeters and then move forward again. If there is still an obstacle it will repeat this
procedure three times, then it will stop in the position where it encountered the obstacle.
4.2
Stow operation procedure
To stow the step the door should be closed or the driver has to give a signal that the step
should stow. The same rules apply as for moving out.
Step out = Shining LED
Step moving = Blinking LED
