Volvo I-Shift Transmission 17
M Position
When the Premium gear selector lever is in the M position, the current gear is
displayed along with the up and down arrows. The transmission will not
automatically change gears as the driving conditions change. The operator can
use the manual gear selection buttons to upshift or downshift manually. The
number of available upshifts and downshifts will change as driving conditions
change.
M Position Display
Starting the vehicle in too high a gear causes excessive wear to the clutch and
can result in clutch damage.
With the Premium gear selector, when the vehicle is stationary, the gear lever
is in the M position and the transmission has detected conditions that require a
lower vehicle start gear, a select lower gear message will appear in the DID
along with the Information light and an audible warning. Move the gear lever
to the D position on the gear selector, or use the manual gear selection button
to select a lower start gear. If necessary, continue to use the manual gear
selection button to select lower start gears until the message and light go off.
With the Basic gear selector, when the vehicle is stationary and the gear lever
is moved from the D position to M, the vehicle start gear will change to first.
