I-shift software
The functionality of the I-shift gearbox depends on the installed software functions.
There are three types of software functions:
- Standard functions
- Package functions
- Optional functions
1
I-shift - Software - ishift_sw_std_list.swf - 2006-10-18 - 15:56
Standard functions
The following functions are the standard functions, they are always included with the I-shift
"C"-generation.
- Performance shift
- Basic shift strategy
- Basic gear shift adjustments
- Oil temperature
- Basic PTO
- E/P modes

Economy
The strategy here is be to keep the engine revs inside the green field of the rev-counter to get
as good fuel economy as possible.
Performance
Here the engine revs are allowed to go above the green field so that the engines maximum
power can be used.
The available rpm-range is still wide enough to allow the gearbox to skip gears when possible.
Performance mode is automatically switched off after a couple of minutes if the driver does not
use the high engine speeds.

Basic (TP-BAS)
Gives the transmission its basic functions and is supplied as standard with I-shift.
One program package can be replaced with another package using VCADS-Pro.

Package identification
When the gear lever is folded forward the display will show which software package that is
installed in a truck.
10
I-shift - Software - ishift_sw_pack_list.swf - 2006-10-18 - 15:57
Package functions
The following functions are functions that can be combined in different ways to form various
software packages.
- Eco roll
- Smart cruise control
- Launch control
- Enhanced shift strategy
- Heavy duty GCM control
11
I-shift - Software - ishift_sw_pack_eco.swf - 2006-10-18 - 15:57
If any one, or more, of the six conditions are not met Eco Roll is disengaged.
12
I-shift - Software - ishift_sw_pack_smartcc.swf - 2006-10-18 - 15:57
Smart Cruise Control will enable a function that limits the auxiliary brakes even though the
vehicle speed is above the brake cruise set speed when the road conditions are such that the
vehicle still will decelerate with reduced auxiliary brake power. When possible the Eco Roll is
also activated.

- when driver activates manual control on the air suspension control box, the lowest possible
gear will automatically be selected to get the best possible control of the vehicle when driving
slowly. This feature requires Electronically Controlled Suspension levelling (ECS).
The following function requires that the EBS allows XBR (external brake request) from the
TECU.
- the service brakes are applied momentarily during gear shifts when engine braking to
compensate for the interruption of engine brake torque. This maximizes the engine braking
performance at the same time as giving an excellent comfort. This feature requires Electronic
Brake System (ABS-EBS) on the vehicle. This function will also be disabled if a trailer without
ABS is connected to the vehicle.

Note that there are also other restrictions that apply when this function is used, for example
topology restrictions.

Optional functions
The following optional functions can be combined with the software packages.
17
I-shift - Software - ishift_sw_opt_gearaut1.swf - 2006-10-18 - 15:58
Starting gear
It is possible to manually adjust the automatically selected starting gear in automatic mode by
activating the shift button on the shift lever. Arrows in the display indicate available gears.
Driving gear
it is possible to manually adjust the automatically selected driving gear in automatic mode by
activating the shift button on the shift lever. Arrows in the display indicate available gears.

Kick-down
The kick-down function will change the gear-shifting strategy.
The picture shows the three different driving modes that the driver can select.
- Economy
The strategy here is be to keep the engine revs inside the green field of the rev-counter to get
as good fuel economy as possible.
- Performance
Here the engine revs are allowed to go above the green field so that the engines maximum
power can be used.
The available rpm-range is still wide enough to allow the gearbox to skip gears when possible.
Performance mode is automatically switched off after a couple of minutes if the driver does not
use the high engine speeds.
- Kick-down
During kick-down the engine revs are allowed to go above the green field so that the engines
maximum power can be used.
The gearbox will also try to keep the engine revs high by not using gear-skipping.

Reverse Inhibit
When the BBM requests “reverse inhibit”, the reverse gears is blocked by the transmission
system.
