Feed switch and start/stop buttons
Certain buses have pushbuttons for start/stop and a feed
switch for the power supply instead of a starter switch and a
light switch. The feed switch and start/stop buttons are locat-

left-hand side of the steering column.
The feed switch is a knob with 6 different positions:
Destination sign lighting
Neutral position

When the button is pressed in, only one impulse is needed,
the starting heater (pre-heating) will be connected and the
indicator lamp comes on.
The amount of time that the starting heater is connected is
controlled by the coolant temperature.

starting procedure,
