Measurement Of the Engaging Time From N-Position To D-Position
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Move the gear-shift lever from the N-position to the D-position and measure the time with a stop watch from changing to engaging (a brief thrust).
The time should be less than 0.7 seconds.
Repeat the procedure a few times and calculate the average value.
