Geartronic (Option) - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

2004 Volvo S60
Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.
Automatic transmission - adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way
in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The
system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.
Cold starts
When driving before the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, the transmission will shift
up at a slightly higher engine speeds to heat the three-way catalytic converter as quickly as possible.

Never use P while the car is in motion.
The parking brake should also be set whenever the car is parked.
The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear
selector from this position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and
the brake pedal must be depressed.
