The boards will not automatically extend again when vehicle spe ed returns to
less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
■ If the Automatic running boards indicator comes on when driving first

WARNING
■Jam protection function
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the j am protection
function.
The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the
object that is caught. Be careful not to get fingers or other b ody parts

■ Cautions regarding the Automatic running boards
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
● Check to make sure that all passengers and people in the vehicle’s sur-
rounding area do not have a hand on a board or any part of thei r body in a
position where it could be caught between a board and the vehicle when
an Automatic running board is being operated.
● Confirm that the boards have completely extended or retracted b efore get-
ting in or out of the vehicle. If someone gets in or out of the vehicle during
Automatic running board operation, the boards may stop extendin g or
retracting.
● Drive the vehicle after confirming that the boards have complet ely
retracted. Driving with a board extended is dangerous because it may hit
other people or objects.
● Take care when pressing the Automatic running boards switch. The board
will extend or retract and may hit other people or objects.
● Always check that the Automatic running boards switch is turned off when
cleaning a board.
● Do not allow children to operate the Automatic running boards.
Operating Automatic running boards in a manner so that a board contacts
someone can cause serious injury, and in some instances, even death.

water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the st eering and
brakes from operating properly.
■ Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
