Volvo I-Shift Transmission 15
Stopping
When parking the vehicle, always apply the parking brake and move the
gear lever to the N position on the gear selector. Make sure the parking
brake is holding the vehicle before leaving the driver position. Failure to do
so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious
personal injury or death.
When the vehicle is stopped:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the gear lever to the N position on the gear selector.
3. Switch off the engine.
DRIVING
The most efficient way to operate the vehicle is to use the automatic drive
program, the D position on the gear selector. Gear changing is automatic and
the operator can concentrate on the road ahead. With the Premium gear
selector, the operator has limited ability to change gears manually with the
gear selector in the D position. In addition, the brake control switch should be
in the A position to maximize the integration of the transmission and brake
system. This means optimum performance and fuel economy at all times.
When the gear selector is in the D position and the engine speed is below
1500 rpm, moving the brake control to the B position will cause the
transmission to downshift. Move the gear lever to the M position to hold the
transmission in the newly selected gear.
In difficult driving conditions such as forests, construction sites and off-road,
manual mode, the M position on the gear selector, and Performance Mode (if
equipped), give the operator more control.
When changing gears manually, the accelerator pedal should not be released.
