Driver Controls Note: If the battery is disconnected, the power running boards default to the OFF mode. The running boards must be turned on again, refer to Message Center in this chapter. Note: Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies, running board motors, or the running board under body mounts to lift the vehicle with the jack, refer to Changing Tires in the Roadside Emergencies chapter. In extreme climates, excessive ice buildup may occur, causing the running boards not to deploy. Be sure that the running boards have deployed, and have finished moving before attempting to step on them. Note: The running boards will resume normal function once the blockage is cleared. Turn off the running boards before working under the vehicle, jacking, or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand in the hinge assemblies. A moving running board may cause injury POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT Do not install additional floor mats on top of the factory installed floor mats as they may interfere with the accelerator or the brake pedals. Position the driver floor mat so that the eyelet is over the pointed end of the retention post and rotate forward to lock in. Make sure that the mat does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator or the brake pedal. To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure. 104 2006 Mountaineer (mnt) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
