18 Volvo I-Shift Transmission
There is the risk of over-revving the engine when the transmission is locked in
a gear. Damage to the engine may occur.
To lock the transmission in the current gear, move the gear lever from the D
position to the M position. This function can be used for all 12 forward gears.
To return to the automatic program, move the gear lever back to the D
position.
Operating the vehicle in the M position for extended periods can result in a
loss of fuel economy.
R Position
When the Premium gear selector lever is in the R 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. If the
vehicle has four reverse gears, the vehicle must be stationary to shift between
reverse gear R2 and reverse gear R3.
R Position Display
With the Basic gear selector, when the vehicle is moving and the gear lever is
moved from the D or R position to M, the transmission will stay in the current
gear until the lever is moved back to D, R or N.
