Limp Home Mode should only be used to
move the vehicle to a safe location. Only
use Limp Home Mode when no other way
to move the vehicle is available.
If the transmission has a mechanical
problem, press the L button on the gear
selector and move the gear lever to the D
position to activate Limp Home Mode.
When activated, L is displayed as the
driving mode in the DID. With the Premium
gear selector, only 1st, 3rd and 5th forward
start gears and reverse gear R1 are
available. With the Basic gear selector,
only 1st forward start gear and reverse
gear R1 are available. The operator cannot
change gears in Limp Home Mode. The
Limp Home Mode will be deactivated when
the ignition is turned off.

6:37 "Oh! My truck is not working! Something happened! I have to call the mechanic." Funny, but so true; that's the kind of experience we newbies have at some point. Well explained, Sir.

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Thank you! Sometimes I want to throw some jokes, I know that I have to keep it personal. (😊 but not this one…)

[@dustbat]

Great video. I have been out of it 16 years. Think I could have gotten use to this in a hurry! Things change. Problem we had was when new equipment came in they just threw you the keys. As I said, things change.

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Thank you!

[@wushock92]

Same. I was a manual shift snob 20 years ago when I last drove. There were not a lot of automated manuals then, just powershift autoatics like in our cars and pickups. If I got back in the truck, I would definitely consider an automated manual I shift truck.

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

I love that transmission!!! So many truckers hate automatics on ice since they shift when they are not supposed to shift, resulting in loss of control on icy surfaces. Having the ability to put the transmission into manual mode eliminates this problem and makes having an automatic transmission a dream for most drivers.

I just got back into OTR driving after a year and a half absence and I got one of these i-shifts. Never driving an auto truck other than an Allison dump truck. I have to say that these ishifts are kind of idiot proof and shift pretty well. Under light steady throttle they shift very consistent and smooth.

I Driving I Shift Volvo since they released. You didn't tell a couple things. #1-When you got on D-Mode I seen on yellow dashscreen 4; that mean -you on the 4th gear and you can change lower or upper gear with +or - button. #2 -While you Driving on D-Mode if you just driving straight or going on uphill,you may change gear pressing +or - like you driving Mechanical transmission, I do Always and passing a lot of trucks on uphill. #3 If you driving on D-Mode you can any time change to M-mode and back to D mode.

i had to go hep a buddy the other night he dropped a cup of coffee and lost his transmission, sad, but under driver seat the plug before it goes thru the floor simply got moisture in it. truck less than 80 k miles plug perfect shape. tried blowing in the plug a few times can not really do anything else small prongs no way to wipe them. but finally was able to get it to detect n. and start, but it was all out of sorts, ended up unplugging it putting heater on high and it solved the issue, Had to just shake my head, thought ok new truck and your dropping your coffee, but it is sad a cup of coffee on the floor could of cost a tow bill and a shop bill plus the time lost. i started with a dual stick tri/plex. thought easy shift was when we got air splitters, auto is nice and so is cruise control, but i would trade them in a instant to get rid of these sensors and everything else so a truck would be a issue free money maker again, Side note after he got home i looked at the plug again still could see no way it could of got wet but i still coated it in permatex, hopefully that will stop it from ever happening again

The Volvo (and Mack m-Drive) are the best on the market and rarely get confused. But if they do they will make a quick correction and all will be good.

Did you switch to Ishift?

Are there any issues if you switch it on neutral while driving? I see that roll option does it when going downhill but it does not do a good job si i like to do it myself. Is there any danger of breaking the gearbox?

Just let of the gas

[@TheJollySkipper]

Yes, there is an issue. It will go into neutral, but you can't get it back into drive without pressing the brake.

[@razva46]

@@TheJollySkipper It goes back into gear without pressing the brake because these trucks do not have traditional automatic gearboxes. I think they are called automated gearboxes(very similar with a manual gearbox)

@@razva46 We have a 2012 VNL with an Ishift 12sp in our fleet. If you reach down and put it into neutral, it will NOT go back into drive without pressing the brake pedal. Are they all the same? It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't. But the one we have, will not do it.
