Buses with Automated Pre-Trip Exterior Light Check Feature

This feature allows operation of all exterior lights to be checked by the sole operator. By use of a switch in the driver's area the operator can
activate the exterior lights in a flashing sequence based on related groups. The lights will flash on and off in the sequence for five minutes
and deactivate automatically. The system allows check of lights only and does not verify switch or input circuit operation. To verify switch and
individual circuit operation, deactivate the Exterior Light Check feature and use the exterior light switches for circuit and switch verification.
To activate the feature, apply the park brake, and select Neutral on the push button selector pad. Turn the ignition key to start position
and release. To start the flash sequence press the switch labeled "EXT LGT CHECK" located in the right console switch panel. Releasing the
park brake, placing the bus in gear or switching the ignition off will deactivate the system.
If the bus is equipped with sleeping child check feature, the system may be armed by activating the Pre-Trip Exterior Light Check feature.
An LED on the Doran monitor will indicate if the sleeping child check feature has been armed.
