Passenger Control
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 ON 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 ON
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.
System Deactivation
To deactivate the Post Trip Inspection (No Student Left Behind)
system once the system is triggered, the following steps must be
performed within 60 seconds (to avoid horn honking):
1. Turn the key to the ACC (Accessory) position and set
the parking brake.
2. Close the door (if not already closed).
3. As you proceed to the rear of the bus, check for children
that may be still on the bus. When you reach the rear of
the bus, lift then lower the rear emergency door lever. If
this bus is equipped with the optional post trip inspection
RESET BUTTON (located above the last window on the
driver-side) press and release this push button.
4. The system is now deactivated, and the Instrument
Panel Gauge Cluster beep, headlights and horn should
now be OFF.
5. Move the key to the OFF position. Remove the key if
exiting the bus.
