Interior Visual and Operational Checks
Component Description
Interior Mirror
Ensure the interior mirror is clean and adjusted to provide a clear view of the entire rear of the bus including
the rear windows. To adjust the mirror, loosen the bolts and nuts in the slotted holes. After moving the mirror
to the desired position, tighten the bolts and nuts.
Window Operation
Ensure windows are free of dirt, fog, condensation and snow. Ensure the driver and passenger windows
can open and close completely.
Engine Starting
With the parking brake applied, insert the key and turn the ignition switch to start the engine. Ensure the
gauges perform an ON and OFF cycle during the engine start up. On vehicles with V-8, wait until the WAIT
TO START indicator goes out. On vehicles with the I-6 the WAIT TO START indicator is an available option.
NOTE: All remaining checks are to be performed with the engine running.
Instrumentation With engine running, check gauges for oil pressure, temperature, alternator, and fuel levels.
Wiper Blades
Look through the windshield to inspect both wipers for signs of wear, damage, or signs of aging on the
rubber blades. Check wiper operation.
Passenger Entry
Ensure the door opens and closes completely. Ensure the entry steps are clear, and the treads are secure
and are in good condition.
Heater Leaks / Fans Inspect for interior heater fluid leaks and check fan operation at all heater locations.
Emergency Devices
Sound the horn. Turn on the heater and defroster. Check the windshield wipers and washers for proper
operation. Using cross-view mirrors and another person, or the lamp check system, verify that the front and
rear exterior directional signal lights are working. Ensure that all interior lights are working properly.
