Step by step.

Park securely, open the primary tailgate and then the inner tailgate, keeping hands clear of all hinges.
- 02
Press the button at the center of the step and lower it until it reaches the fully open position.
- 03
Lift the bed assist handle until it locks upright before climbing into the bed.
- 04
Keep the combined person-and-cargo load on the step at or below 375 pounds (170 kg).
- 05
After use, pull the assist-handle release lever toward its ball end and fold the handle closed, then lift the step firmly until both side latches engage.
Important limits
- Keep hands away from the hinges while operating the step.
- The 375-pound rating includes both the person and any cargo on the step.
- Do not place a load on top of the step while using it as a load stop, and secure cargo because it can shift.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the step will not close, remove all load and debris and make sure it is aligned before lifting it firmly.
- ✓If either side latch does not engage, reopen the step and close it again; do not drive with it unsecured.
- ✓If the assist handle will not fold, pull its release lever toward the ball end before pushing the handle down.
