WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The basic parameters for shifting are the accelerator pedal (AP) position and the vehicle speed.
The gear shift quality is determined by the torque control by reading off speed changes of the transmission input shaft and comparing the calculated value.
This is used to calculate the pressure setting for the clutches and brakes.
