with obstacle detection at the front. If the step
meets an obstacle while extending, it stops.
When you have removed the obstacle, you must
first close the sliding door then re-open it so that
the step extends completely.
If the electrical step prevents loading, you can
block it via obstacle detection when the sliding
door opens. The electrical step then remains
retracted and a fork-lift truck or other lifting vehi‐
cle can move closer to the load area.
