Unlike standard vehicles, or its manual
transmission sibling, the GL1800BD/D/DA
with dual clutch transmission does not have
a clutch lever that would provide you with
an additional means to control the engine
power being transmitted to the rear wheel.
Thus, in the unlikely event that you
experience a stuck throttle or other
unintended application of power to the
rear wheel, you should shut down the
engine by use of the engine stop switch

By moving this switch to the
(Stop)
position, you will immediately stop the
engine but maintain all electrical system
functions, including lights and indicators.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss
of consciousness and may lead to death.
If you run the engine in confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe
could contain a dangerous amount of
carbon monoxide.
Never run your vehicle inside a garage or
other enclosure.
