Reverse Gears - Volvo FM Handbook

Reverse gears

The gearbox has four reverse gears (R1 to R4). The
truck must be stationary before reverse gear can be
engaged. The system will select R1 automatically
when the gear lever is moved to R.
When driving, it is possible to shift between gears R1
and R2 and between R3 and R4. To shift gear between
R2 and R3 the truck must be stationary.
Manual gear changing is via the +/-button on the gear
selector.

The gear selector lock must be
