Reverse Gears - Volvo FM Handbook

Reverse gears

The gearbox has four reverse gears (R1 to R4). The
system will select R1 automatically when the gear
shift lever is moved to R when the truck is stationary.
When driving, it is possible to shift between gears R1
and R2 and between R3 and R4. To change gear
between R2 and R3 the truck must be stationary.
Manual gear shifting is done using the +/– button on
the gear shift lever.
I-Shift 247
Note!
The gear shift lever lock must be
pressed in before the gear shift lever
can be moved from N to R.
Caution!
Starting in too high a gear strains
the clutch a lot and can increase
the risk for clutch breakdown.
