Volvo 1991 740 Model
The transmission is mechanically locked when in position P. Also, apply the parking brake when
parking on grades.
The gear selector is locked in the Park position - SHIFT-LOCK. To release the selector, the ignition
must be switched on and the brake pedal must be depressed. Manually releasing see page 6:18.
WARNING!
Never leave the car when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the
car may start moving.
R (Reverse)
Never engage R while is moving forward.
N (Neutral)
Neutral position = no gear is engaged. Use parking brake. The car can also be started in this position.
Driving gears
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position. Upshifts and downshifts of the forward gears occur automatically and
are governed by accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed.
Lock-up (certain models)
With the gear selector in position D (Drive) the lockup device disengages the torque converter at speeds
above approx. 47-56 mph (75-90 km/h). It provides lowered engine speeds and improved mileage.
The lockup engagement may be noticed as an extra upshift when accelerating.
