6 Volvo I-Shift Transmission
GEAR SELECTOR
Two gear selectors are available with the I-Shift transmission: Premium and
Basic. The gear selector is attached to the driver’s seat. There are four gear
selector positions: R, N, D and M. When the gear lever is in the R position, the
reverse gears are engaged. The N position places the transmission in neutral.
The D position is the automatic drive mode. With the Premium gear selector,
the M position allows the driver to manually select the operating and starting
gear. With the Basic gear selector, the M position holds the current operating
gear and puts the transmission in first gear when starting from a stop.
Basic Gear Selector Shown
The gear selector lock must be depressed to move the gear lever from the N
position. The gear lever can be moved from the R position to N, back and forth
between the D and M positions, and from the D position to N without pressing
the gear selector lock.
