Passenger Control
1. Turn ignition OFF.
2. The alarm on the BUS-SCAN ® control box will sound and
the Right Panel pilot light will turn ON.
3. Walk to rear of bus and press the deactivation switch
mounted on the left-side light bar. If the deactivation
switch is not pressed within 60 seconds, the bus horn
will begin to honk. The horn can be silenced by turning

Unloading Students With Engine OFF
The BUS-SCAN ® 100 System provides for the safe unloading
of students by allowing the driver to have the engine turned
OFF and the ignition switch in the ACC position. This will turn
the system OFF (indicated by the ACTIVE LED not illuminated).
Children can then be helped off the bus without fear of accidental
vehicle movement.
Wheelchair Lift Operation

Door), refer to the
Manufacturer Operation Manual .

Wheelchair Lift Interlocks – Extending
Read the following before operating the wheelchair lift.
The wheelchair lift system for these buses are designed with
interlocks that require the vehicle to be completely stopped with
the transmission out of gear and the parking brake applied,
before the wheelchair lift system can be fully utilized.
Power will not be supplied to the wheelchair lift mechanism
unless all of the following steps have been performed
(this is
true even with the optional Lift switch in the ON position —
See Driver Controls section for the switch description)
.
Also, refer to the Brake and Transmission sections for
wheelchair lift interlocks.
