OPERATION
Power Ramp Operation
The power ramp is activated by
the electronic control system
using any of the control switches
identified on pages 11-13. When
a control switch is activated to
start the Open functions, the
ramp deploys after the power
sliding door reaches the fully
open position. When the Close
functions are activated, the ramp
stow function begins immediately
(simultaneously with the kneel
system).
If a control switch is activated
while the ramp is in motion
(deploying or stowing), the ramp
motor will stop running. Activat-
ing a control switch again will
start the Close functions (ramp
will stow, vehicle will raise and
the door will close).
Note: The power sliding door
must travel from the full closed
position to the full open position in
order for the ramp to deploy.
Note: If the vehicle transmission
is disengaged from Park “P” while
the ramp is deploying (in motion)
or when the ramp is in the fully
deployed position, the ramp will
stow immediately.
Note: If the power ramp is ob-
structed while deploying or stow-
ing, the ramp motor will stop run-
ning, provided it meets sufficient
resistance. Press a control switch
again and the ramp will stow and
the door will close.
Note: When deploying the ramp,
the ramp motor stops running
when the ramp reaches the nearly
horizontal position (approximately

result in damage.
6"- 8" above ground level). The
ramp continues to slowly lower
the remaining distance by the
force of gravity.
Forcing the Ramp: Allow the
power ramp to deploy (unfold
and lower) fully before boarding
the ramp. Forcing the ramp out
or down during the deploy/stow
functions, or boarding onto the
ramp before it is fully-deployed
may result in damage to the
ramp, motor assembly and/or
electronic controller.
