Area 3. This display is similar to a transmission position identifier. It indicates the
intended direction of travel. Neutral (N) indicates no intended motion. Reverse (R)
indicates the intent to travel in reverse. Drive (D) indicates the intent to travel for-
ward. Park Mode (P) is achieved by pressing the service brake and then applying the
park brake. While in Park Mode, the driver’s display will indicate “P” and the shifter
pad will also display a “P”.
When the bus batteries are being charged Area 3 will display the time needed
to complete a full charge at the current rate of charge. The display will read “Time
to Full Charge” and the value will be displayed in hours. If the ignition switch is in the off position, press any of the three navigation
buttons to activate the display. The display will remain on for 10 seconds and then return to blank. If the ignition is ON the display will
remain on until the ignition is turned OFF.
Area 4. The 12V auxiliary battery voltage is displayed in the Area 4 (top right corner of Drivers display). If the option for an ammeter
is present, the ammeter reading can be displayed below the voltage reading when configured “ENABLED” in the configuration menu
(see Blue Bird Service Manual for Ametek instrument cluster configuration settings). If the data is missing or out of range a “-V” will
be displayed.
Area 5. This area will display the Vehicle Status as default. Depending on the information the instrument cluster receives, Area 5 can
display the following messages:
