Passenger Control
Driver Visual Warning Lights and Indicators
The driver's visual warning lights, located in the Instrument
Panel Gauge Cluster, indicate the operation of the eight lamp
warning system (either AMBER or RED), the wheelchair lift door
indicator, and other optional equipment.
Each indicator only comes on when the respective light or switch
is activated.
EXTERIOR LIGHT MONITOR (OPTIONAL)
: The light monitor
is mounted in the overhead console panel.
Audible Warning Buzzer
The
audible
warning
device
buzzer is activated when the
rear
emergency
door,
roof
hatch
(if
equipped
with
a
buzzer), kickout windows, or side
emergency doors are open with
the ignition switch in the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position.
Post-Trip Inspection (No
Student Left Behind)
System Purpose
It is the driver's responsibility to check for children who may be
left on the bus at the end of every trip. The Post Trip Inspection
(No Student Left Behind) System is intended to be an aid to
the driver to ensure that this responsibility is not inadvertently
omitted. The system provides audible and visual alerts when
the bus ignition is turned off at the end of a trip.
System Function
Any time the ignition key is in the RUN position AND the RED
flashers have been turned on AND the door is opened (or is
already open), the system will be automatically activated. Once
the system is activated, it will trigger the vehicle alarm when the
ignition is in the OFF position for greater than half a second.
At this time, the Instrument Panel Gauge Cluster alarm will
begin to beep and the headlights will flash to remind the driver
to complete the Post Trip Inspection (No Student Left Behind)
deactivation process.
If the deactivation is not completed
within 60 seconds, the horn will also begin to honk.
System Activation
Normal student pickup / drop off operation of the bus will
automatically activate the system. For test purposes, however,
this can also be simulated by the following procedure:
1.
Start the bus or simply turn the ignition key to the RUN
position.
2.
Activate the RED flashers.
3.
Open the door (if not already opened).
4.
Close the door to turn off the RED flashers.
5.
The Post Trip Inspection system will then be triggered
(Instrument Panel Gauge Cluster will beep and
headlights will flash) when the ignition switch is turned
to the OFF position for longer than half a second.
