Mercedes-Benz SUV Power Steps

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

The power steps engineered for Mercedes-Benz SUVs (including GLC, GLE, GLS series) are specifically designed to interface with the vehicle's proprietary electrical architecture, often utilizing a dedicated CAN-Bus interface module. This ensures that deployment and retraction signals are derived directly from the door latch and locking status, guaranteeing seamless synchronization with the vehicle's comfort access system.

The mechanism features Model-Specific Mounting Brackets constructed from reinforced steel, engineered to align perfectly with the factory frame points, preserving the vehicle's structural integrity. The system also incorporates Low-Voltage Monitoring to prevent excessive battery drain, a critical requirement for complex electronic systems in luxury vehicles.

Introduction

The Mercedes-Benz SUV line demands accessories that meet uncompromising standards of precision, fit, and technological sophistication. Our power steps for these models are engineered to enhance accessibility without detracting from the vehicle’s distinguished design and driving dynamics. They operate as a harmonious extension of the vehicle's existing electronic comfort features.

Bohai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. applies an OEM-level approach to R&D for this premium application segment. Our manufacturing processes, located in Huzhou, Zhejiang, are geared towards producing components with the dimensional accuracy and finish quality expected for the world's leading luxury automotive brand accessories.

Applications

Mercedes-Benz GLC and GLC L: Enhancing the cabin access for standard and long-wheelbase versions, integrating with the vehicle's sophisticated door sensor system.
Mercedes-Benz GLE (All Variants): Providing a stable, automatically deploying step that accounts for the vehicle's higher ground clearance and variable air suspension settings.
Mercedes-Benz GLS: Catering to the large SUV segment, offering a substantial, high-load-capacity step that complements the vehicle's full-size stature.
Dealer-Installed Upgrades: Highly valued by Mercedes-Benz dealers as a preferred, non-invasive upgrade for new vehicle sales and after-sales service.

Common Questions

Q: Does installing the step void the vehicle's electrical warranty?
A: No. Our dedicated CAN-Bus integration module is designed for non-invasive "tap-in" installation, preventing any cutting or splicing of factory wiring harnesses, thus maintaining the original electrical integrity.

Q: How is the system protected from water ingress during washing or heavy rain?
A: The motors and control modules are housed in IP68-rated, sealed enclosures, and the wiring harnesses use waterproof OEM-style connectors, ensuring robust protection against moisture and high-pressure washing.

Q: Is the step length customized for long-wheelbase (L) models like the GLC L?
A: Yes, we manufacture platform lengths specifically tailored to the precise wheelbase of the standard and long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz variants to ensure full coverage and aesthetic consistency.

Core Features

Electronic Compatibility: Guarantees error-free communication and prevents triggering fault codes within the sensitive Mercedes-Benz diagnostic system.
Factory Fitment Geometry: Brackets are laser-cut and formed to match the precise factory chassis mounting points without any requirement for drilling or modification.
Silent Operation: Utilizes acoustic dampening components and high-precision gearing within the motor unit to minimize operational noise, fitting the luxury expectation.
Vehicle Protection: When retracted, the step provides a layer of protection to the rocker panel area against minor road debris and stone chips.

Manufacturing & Customization

Our production involves CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) verification of every Mercedes-Benz specific mounting bracket to ensure dimensional exactitude. The CAN-Bus interface units are rigorously tested on a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulator to validate communication protocol compliance.

Customization Opportunities: We offer specific luxury-focused features:

Ambient Lighting Integration: Developing step platforms with subtle, integrated LED lighting that matches the vehicle's interior ambient lighting color spectrum.
Custom Finish Options: Providing step finishes in high-gloss black or body-color matching primer for specific dealer-level customization programs.
Vehicle-Specific Wire Harnesses: Supplying unique wiring kits for the GLE, GLS, and GLC models, ensuring plug-and-play simplicity and correct fuse box integration.

Material Selection

The step platform uses Aviation-Grade 6061-T6 Aluminum for an optimal balance of strength and lightness. The surface is treated with Type II Anodization before a specialized textured powder coat is applied for longevity.

The mounting interface employs High-Strength, Low-Alloy Steel (HSLA) for the brackets, finished with Electrophoretic Coating (E-Coat) to provide comprehensive anti-corrosion coverage before the final black finish.

All pivot points utilize PTFE-Coated Bushings to ensure low friction, quiet operation, and resistance to dust and grime accumulation.
