I-SHIFT TRANSMISSION FEATURES
The I-Shift transmission is available with optional feature packages.
Customer-requested options allow these packages to be modified to meet
specific operating conditions. Contact your Volvo Truck dealer for more
information about standard and optional features.
I-Shift transmission optional feature packages can be upgraded to add
additional benefits. The following features are available.
Economy and Performance Modes
When the engine is started, the transmission is in Economy mode. An E is
displayed as the driving mode in the DID. The transmission automatically
selects shift points and engine parameters to maximize fuel economy.
Economy mode is primarily used when driving under normal conditions.
In Performance mode, a P is displayed as the driving mode in the DID. The
transmission maximizes gradeability. Performance mode is designed for use in
vocational and specialty vehicles such as construction and heavy haul.
Customer-requested options allow the Performance mode to be modified to
meet specific operating conditions. Options include full operator control, no
operator control and automatic return to Economy mode under certain
operating conditions. A customer-requested option is available to disable the
Kick-Down function when the transmission is operating in Performance
mode. Contact your Volvo Truck dealer for more information about standard
and optional features.
The Performance Mode feature can also be enabled by the Volvo Performance
Bonus software package to reward the driver for saving fuel.
Operating the vehicle in Performance mode for extended periods can result in
a loss of fuel economy.
