Gear Shift Indicator - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Automatic shiftlock
From Park – P
In order to move the gear selector from the P
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition must be in mode II.
From neutral – N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has
been stationary for more than 3 seconds (regard-
less of whether or not the engine is running), the
shiftlock feature will lock the gear selector in this
position.
In order to move the gear selector from the N
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition must be in mode II.
Shiftlock override
If the vehicle cannot be driven (e.g., due to a dis-
charged battery), the shiftlock feature has to be
overridden in order to move the gear selector
from the P or D positions into N so that the vehi-
cle can be moved. To do so:
Lift away the rubber mat on the bottom of
the storage compartment in front of the gear
selector to expose the small hole for overrid-
ing the shiftlock feature.
Press a small screwdriver or similar item into
the hole and hold it down.
Press the button on the front side of the
gear selector and move the selector to the N
position. Release the button and remove the
screwdriver from the hole.
4. Put the rubber mat back into place.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Gear shift indicator

The gear shift indicator in the instrument panel
shows the current gear (in manual shifting
mode) and will prompt the driver to shift up or
down to help get the best possible fuel econ-
omy.
The gear shift indicator shows the current gear in
the instrument panel and uses an upward arrow
to recommend shifting to a higher gear or a
downward arrow to recommend shifting to a
lower gear.
