Abstract
A side step for a vehicle, particularly a sports utility passenger vehicle is openable and closeable. In a preferred embodiment, the side step automatically opens when the front door of the vehicle is opened. In its open position, a toe kick panel provides a barrier to the side step support and movement mechanisms.
