In Case Of Gearbox Malfunction; Starting On Hills - Volvo FM Handbook

230 I-Shift

In case of gearbox malfunction

When a fault occurs on the gearbox which means that
the vehicle cannot be driven, activate Limp home
function and drive on.
Activate Limp home like this:
1 Hold in L on the gear selector casing
2 Move the gear selector to A
Limp home is activated
3 Move the gear selector to M
4 Select gears using the +/- button on the gear
selector
When Limp home is selected, it is not possible to drive
if the selector is in position A. Only gears 1, 3 and 5
forwards and 1 reverse can be used. Gear shifting is
only possible when the truck is stationary.
To select reverse, move the lever to R. Move the lever
back to M to resume driving forwards. It is not
necessary to press the L button again.
Limp homefunction will be disengaged when the
ignition is turned off.

Starting on hills

• The truck can be kept still using the parking brake
or trailer brake.
• Put the gear selector in A
• Depress the accelerator
• Release the brake once the clutch starts to pull
Note!
Limp homefunction should only be
used for short distances.
Caution!
Never hold the vehicle stationary
on an upward slope using the
accelerator pedal. The clutch
could overheat, which could
cause it to fail.
