20 Volvo I-Shift Transmission
The I-Shift transmission clutch is a dry disc type, with no torque converter.
Never allow the clutch to slip in too high a gear when starting the vehicle. If
the clutch overheats, a high clutch load message or clutch protection active
message will appear in the DID along with the Check light and an audible
warning.
Hilly Operating Conditions
When starting the vehicle on an uphill slope:
1. Press the brake pedal.
2. Move the gear lever to the D position on the gear selector. With the
Premium gear selector, the operator can use the manual gear selection
button to select a lower start gear.
3. Quickly move your foot from the brake pedal and firmly press the
accelerator pedal.
