There is nothing in Vida that points to anything other than the mirror(s) potentiometers.

I am sure you can understand, this i quite dangerous, more so when i dont hesitate from a junction etc, having to back off makes the car ya just nipped in front off get far too close for comfort :/
contrary to what volvo say, I found the early s60s to not shift up automatically in manual mode. ie it will bounce of limiter until you do something. it will only shift down to prevent stall
