    I thought that was just to change the shift program, i.e Economy/Power mode

    If there were crawler gears, surely Volvo would say the I-shift is a 14,16, whatever speed box, rather then 12

    really I do not work in Ural area. My truck runs to Moscov and around Moscow only. May be less money, but road is good (highway M4 DON). There are many truck stops, rest areas, many cops......

    really not. I know that Chelabinsk is one of bad places, and all the Ural area too.
