262 Load Carrying Box Side Step (If Equipped) The box side step allows easier access to the truck bed. Note: Do not drive the vehicle with a box side step in the deployed position. Note: The box side step load carrying capability (one person plus cargo) is 500 pounds (227 kilograms). Do not exceed this amount. Note: Do not use the box side steps to lift the vehicle when jacking. Utilize proper jacking points. Note: The box side steps may operate slower in cooler temperatures. Debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and salt may become trapped in the box side step mechanism. This may cause the box side step to not deploy automatically after pressing the button. If this occurs, make sure that the button is pressed down and carefully manually pull out the box side step. Wash off the debris with a high-pressure car wash wand and re-stow the step. To deploy the box side step, push down on the button with your foot. The step will automatically extend out from the stowed position. To stow the box side step, push the box side step under the truck with your foot until it is fully latched. Do not push on the button while stowing the box side step. 2013 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, February 2013 USA (fus)
