Passive Entry unlock initiates illuminated approach (low beams, license plate lamp, posi- tion lamps) for whichever time duration is set between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry unlock also initiates two flashes of the turn signals.
When configured for “Auto” mode, the Power Side Steps will deploy when any of the doors are opened, or when the deploy setting is activated through the touchscreen. When configured for “Store” mode, the steps will not deploy unless the setting is selected manually through the Controls menu within the touchscreen.
