2004 VOLVO XC90
●
Models equipped with a 5-cylinder turbo engine have five forward speeds. Models equipped with a 6-
cylinder turbo engine have four forward speeds
●
A "lock-up" feature on gears 3 and 4 (and 5, if equipped) reduces engine speed and help saves fuel.
The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see
page 24
).
●
To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, move the gear selector to the left to MAN.
●
To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right.
While driving
If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position
will also initially be selected in (MAN)ual position.
●
Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift
to a lower gear.
●
If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear and will utilize the
braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will
not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
●
If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.
●
When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected.
Kickdown
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and
briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the
accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway
speeds.
NOTE: The gear selector must be in the D (Drive) position for kickdown to function.
Automatic transmission - adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way
in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The
system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.
