Ford Expedition (2018 year). Manual — part 19

USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS

WARNINGS

In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur, causing the
running boards not to deploy. Make

sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared.

Turn off the running boards before
jacking or placing any object under
your vehicle. Never place your hand

between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.

Note:

Do not use the running boards, front

and rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Always use proper jacking points.

Note:

The running boards may operate

more slowly in cool temperatures.

Note:

The running board mechanism may

trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the running boards
to the deployed position. Then, wash the
system, in particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.

Automatic Power Deploy

E166682

The running boards automatically extend
down and out when you open the door.
This can help you enter and exit your
vehicle.

Automatic Power Stow

When you close the doors, the running
boards return to the stowed position after
a two-second delay.

Manual Power Deploy

You can manually operate the running
boards in the information display. See
General Information

(page 109).

Set the running boards in the deployed
position to access the roof.

The running boards return to the stowed
position and enter automatic mode when
the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).

Enabling and Disabling

You can enable and disable the power
running board feature in the information
display. See General Information (page
109).

(If Equipped)

•

When disabled (OFF), the running
boards move to the stowed position
regardless of the door position.

•

When enabled (AUTO), the running
boards move back to the correct
positions based on the door position.

Bounce-back

The running board will reverse direction
and move to the end of travel if it
encounters an object while moving.
