WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The basic parameters for shifting are the accelerator pedal 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.
