Dashboard Warning Light

Dashboard Warning Lights are lights, located above the steering wheel, which convey information about the bus to the driver.

Some dashboard warning lights are common and largely benign, i.e., the braking symbol which appears when using the brakes in an FE, or the Brake Retard warning light which accompanies the retarder in Excels and EDs.

Some warning lights, however, are very serious (such as the stop engine light), and should be handled immediately. Additionally, such lights should not only be reported to base, but also written in the VIR.
