Congratulations on the purchase of your AMP Research Power Step Here’s what you should know... OPERATION The AMP Research Power Step automatically deploys when at least one door opens and automatically retracts under your vehicle when both front and rear doors close. If resistance or blockage is encountered while the Power Step is in motion, the drive system is designed to automatically stop. To reset, simply open or close the vehicle door and the Power Step will resume normal operation.
