Volvo 1990 780 Model
Use position 1 to select low gear when no upshift is desired, for instance, when entering and descending
steep grades.
Shift gate
The gear selector can be moved freely between D and 2. Selections of other positions are obtained by
depressing the selector knob prior to moving the selector.
Slightly depressing the selector knob allows selection of positions N, D, 2 and 1.
Fully depressing the selector knob allows selection of positions R and P. This is also necessary when
initially bringing the selector out of position P.
Fully depressing the selector knob thus permits shifting freely between all positions.
