Details
A. Each school bus shall be equipped with a ‘Child Check’ system that is armed when the red lights are turned on at the first passenger stop. The system will require the driver to walk to the rearmost interior of the bus after each trip to deactivate the system via push button and to ensure that no passengers are left on the bus. The system shall sound the vehicle horn and flash the headlights if the driver fails to deactivate the system within 60 seconds of turning the ignition off. Type A1 buses may activate the red pupil warning lights in lieu of the headlights.
B. The system must not affect or interfere with any other existing operating or electrical component (e.g., turn signals, brake lights, stop signal arm, etc.)
C. The system must permit the driver complete control of the ignition switch and not interfere with engine operation or shutdown.
D. The system may emit a reminder tone or signal during the delay period.
E. The system shall not have a bypass.
F. The system shall be deactivated by the use of a heavy-duty push-button placed on the left (position as determined from the normal driving position as seated in the driver’s seat looking in the direction of forward travel roadside ‘driver side’) rear bulkhead or above the left (roadside ‘driver side’) rear passenger window for Type A, B, C, and D FE buses. The push button shall be placed above the left rear passenger window for Type D RE buses. This button shall be clearly marked.
