"Lock-Up" - Volvo 960 Owner's Manual

1993 Volvo 960

"Lock-up"

The automatic gearbox has a "lock-up" function. It reduces engine speed and saves fuel. The principle of
"lock-up" is based on the fact that the gearbox's torque converter is disengaged for changes between 3nd,
3nd and 4th gears. The "lock-up" function can sometimes be felt as an additional gearchange.
