Chevrolet Silverado: Doors / Power Assist Steps
Warning
To avoid personal injury or property damage, before entering or exiting
the vehicle, be sure the power assist step is fully extended. Do not step on the
power assist step while it is moving. Never place hands or other body parts between
the extended power assist step and the vehicle.
If equipped, the power assist steps, when enabled, will extend when the door
is opened. They will retract three seconds after the door is closed or immediately
if the vehicle starts moving.
Keep hands, children, pets, objects, and clothing clear of the power assist steps
when in motion.
The steps will reverse direction if there is an obstruction. If possible, carefully
remove the obstruction, then open and close the door on the same side to complete
the motion. If the obstruction is not cleared, the assist steps remain extended.
Slight movement of the steps while extended is normal.
