Driving -> Gearbox for Your Volvo EX40 SUV First Generation (2025-2026)

In the event of a severe collision[1], automatic braking reduces your speed in a controlled manner, bringing the car to a halt.  
Reducing your speed is especially important if there are pedestrians, vehicles or objects in the car's path.  
The brake lights and hazard warning lights activate during the manoeuvre. When the car comes to a stop, the hazard warning  
lights stay on and the parking brake activates.  
Note  
Manual override  
Pressing down on the accelerator overrides the braking manoeuvre, allowing the driver to select a safe place to stop.  
Post-impact braking requires that the brake system is intact after the collision.  
[1]  
The severity of the collision must exceed a certain threshold for post-impact braking to activate. For example, if airbags  
have deployed.  
8.8. Gearbox  
Your car has an automatic gearbox, meaning that gears are selected automatically so that you can drive as  
efficiently as possible.  
The available gears are:  
Reverse  
Neutral  
Drive  
R
N
D

Having an automatic gearbox means that you don't have to change gears manually while driving. When driving in gear D, the  
car adjusts the gear depending on your driving speed and the power requirements.  
Gearbox-related faults  
If a fault is detected with the gearbox, such as overheating, this is communicated with a message in the driver display. Make  
sure to follow any instructions in the message.  
8.8.1. Selecting gear  
Select a gear by moving the gear selector backwards or forwards. The current gear is indicated in the driver  
display.  
The available gears are:  
Reverse  
Neutral  
Drive  
R
N
D
When moving the gear selector either backwards or forwards, you can feel that it has two positions in both directions. Select R  
by moving the gear selector all the way forwards. Move the selector all the way backwards to select D.  
You can select the neutral gear, N, by moving the gear selector to the first position in either direction and holding it there for a  
couple of seconds. The gear selector always returns to its middle position between gear selections.  
Note  
Changing gears is only possible when the car is stationary or when you are driving at walking pace. You can't change  
gears while charging your car.
