How to Use the Gear Shift in Volvo XC60?
2 Answers
Volvo XC60 gear shift usage methods are as follows: 1. P stands for Parking gear: Use P gear when the vehicle needs to be parked for a long time or parked on a slope; 2. R stands for Reverse gear: Used when reversing the vehicle; 3. N stands for Neutral gear: Used when the vehicle is just started or being towed; 4. D stands for Drive gear: When preparing to start driving, press the brake, shift the gear lever into D gear, then release the handbrake, release the brake and press the accelerator. The Volvo XC60 is a mid-size SUV launched by Volvo Cars, with dimensions of 4688mm in length, 1902mm in width, 1658mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2865mm.
Operating the gearshift in the Volvo XC60 is quite straightforward, and this is how I usually do it. After starting the car, keep your foot on the brake pedal without releasing it, then use the gear lever or knob to select your desired gear: P is for Park, used when the car is fully stopped; R is for Reverse, engaged when backing up; N is for Neutral, used during towing or brief stops; D is for Drive, which makes driving fully automatic. If you want quicker acceleration, you can switch to S mode or manual mode, using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel for manual gear changes. Don’t rush when shifting—make sure the car is fully stopped before moving the gear lever. The XC60 has hill-start assist, so it won’t roll back when starting on a slope, which is quite reassuring. I always pay attention to these details while driving to avoid damaging the car or causing issues.
