depressing the selector knob permits shifting freely between all positions. Kick-down Automatic shift to a lower gear (kick-down) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will be achieved when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kick-down can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds. Avoid using the kickdown function during the break-in period (first 1,200 miles of vehicle operation). Transmission Lamp If the indicator lamp (see page 21 item 18) begins to flash, this is an indication of a fault in the automatic transmission. The Check Engine Lamp will also light up if a fault is detected. If the transmission does not shift properly, place the gear selector in position L. Please contact your Volvo retailer if this occurs.
