On certain buses, should the switch on the remote throttle control panel (located in the engine compartment) not be returned to the "OFF" or "FRONT" position by a servicing technicien, and the engine RPM be set above idle, the bus can still start with the engine at idle, but once the transmission gear is selected and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine could change to a high RPM and the bus could accelerated at a higher rate than anticipated. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Daimler Bus will supply owners with instructions detailing modification to be applied to the throttle control switch wiring harness.
