Deploy King Ranch Running Boards

Deploying my 2018 KR running boards when the doors are closed would make it easier to wash them. Suggestions?

Non powered running boards?

Is there not a switch to where you can manually deploy them?

I don't easily find a physical switch to expose them. I also went through the choices in the dash display. I didn't see anything there.

I have an owners' manual and also went through the online manual at fordservicecontent.com but no joy. (Ford could improve the online manual by making it searchable.)

The online PDF is searchable. That's how I found this:

Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply.

That online manual is new to me. Thanks for turning me on to it.

I deploy mine in parking spots that seem a little tight.
Keeps the ricers from dinging me.
They go back to auto deploy when you hit 5mph.

Ours are not powered. They are always in the door-ding-prevent mode!

I try to stay away from those cars, but it’s not always possible. Thanks for the tip!
