The entry step features amber lighting under the step, automatic retraction
with the ignition key in the RUN position and a last out feature. Located to the
left, just inside the entry door, is the step switch. Keep step clear by removing
all mud, salt and road grime.
Operating the Entry Step:
1. With the entrance door open, turn the step switch on.
2. Close the door. The step should retract and lock in the UP posi-
tion. The step light will remain on.
3. Open the door. The step should extend and lock in the “down”
position with the under step light on. The step will retract when
the door is closed.
4. The step is equipped with a power switch. When the switch is
turned off, the step should remain in the extended position with
the door closed and the under step light off. Close the door and
turn on the ignition switch. The step will retract for travel. To hold
the entry step in the retracted position proceed with the following:
• Turn the engine ignition switch off.
• Wait 15 seconds and then turn the power step switch from
off to on, then back off again. The step will stay retracted
until the step switch is turned ON, or the ignition switch is
turned on.
The retracted position is useful for high curbs or on boat ferries.
5. With the power switch off, the step extended, the entrance door
closed and the ignition turned on the ignition override system will
go into effect and the step will automatically retract.
6. Turn the ignition off and open the door. The step will extend and
lock in the “down” position. This is the “last out” feature. When
the ignition is on the step will always activate with the door move-
ment, regardless of the power switch position.
