I-Shift 217

I-shift, general

I-shift is an automatic gearbox with 12 forward gears
and 4 reverse gears . The clutch and gear shifting are
operated fully automatically so that the driver can
concentrate on the traffic. If necessary, the driver can
choose to change gear manually. The gear lever,
mounted on the driver's seat, can be tilted horizontal to
the seat cushion. Tilting the selector will make it easier
for the driver to move around in the cab.

Gear selector

The gear selector is fixed to the seat and the gear
selector can be tilted to allow the driver to move freely
around the cab without being hindered by the selector.
Gear lever
On the side of the gear lever facing the driver's seat,
there is a +/- button (A) with spring-loaded up and
down positions and a neutral position in the middle.
On the top is a button (B) that is used to tilt the gear
selector to horizontal position. On the front there is
also a gear lever stop (C) to prevent unintentional gear
engagement. The lock must be pressed in for the
following gear shifts:
• from N to R.
• from N to any of the forward gears.
The lock does not need to be pressed when the gear
selector is moved from A to M. J4020428
The gear selector can always be moved to N without
having to press a button.
Gear selector positions
The gear selector is used to choose between four
different driving programs.
