Hi way up there in the great north...if you go into the apps on your screen...then "settings" then I believe it was in "suspension"...i think you will find a selection for running boards to "deploy". I did it a few days ago to clean mine.

If you hit your backup camera there's a button for deploying the steps

If you open the door to lower the running board, then put your foot on it and then shut the door...when the running board tries to retract, keep your foot from it doing so, it will stay in the down position. Once you’re done cleaning, simply open and close the door and the running board will reset and close as normal. Hope that helps

On my 22 Limited Longhorn if you select "Vehicle" then under "Controls" push the Power Side Step icon.
