1978 Volvo 264 265

Reversing inhibitor

Lift the ring to enter the reverse gear.

The ring locking mechanism prevents reverse gear from being engaged unintentionally.

Overdrive (some models only)

Shift to overdrive at 45 mph and disengage it when speed drops below 40 mph or encounters hilly

terrain. The overdrive can be engaged in 4th gear only.

No extra operation of clutch or throttle pedal is normally necessary. Engagement is facilitated if the

accelerator pedal position is maintained steady.

When disengaging, depressing the clutch pedal slightly makes a smooth transfer.

The overdrive should be used after the engine was reached normal operating temperature (minimum

time is five minutes) and the vehicle is being operated on relatively hard surfaces.
