Honda 2009 GL1800 GOLDWING Owner's Manual page 3

Introduction
Congratulations on choosing a GOLDWING motorcycle.
Your GOLDWING is a very special model, as it is the first production
motorcycle in the world equipped with an airbag.
As the ultimate GOLDWING, your vehicle also includes a sophisticated audio
system, an anti-lock brake system (ABS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), a multi information display, a navigation system, and a comfort
package.
This booklet is a supplement to your owner's manual. The first section explains
what the airbag is designed to do, how the motorcycle airbag system works,
what special precautions you should take, and when you need to have the system
checked by a dealer.
The rest of this supplement follows the organization of the owner's manual,
showing you where all your operational, audio, and service controls are located.
Before operating your GOLDWING, please read your owner's manual and this
supplement carefully. If you have any questions or need special service,
remember that Honda dealers know your vehicle best, and they are the only ones
qualified to service your airbag system.
