When s40/v50's first came out they had nothing, but on 05m/y models the gearlever bleebs to tell you you've selected reverse, on the new 06m/y cars its gone to a vw style where you have to push the gearlever down to select reverse.

I believe volvo have a kit to convert 04 and 05m'y cars to do the same as the 06's.

I agree tho i think that reverse and first are far to close to each other and if selected quickly then can reverse can be selected instead of 1st.
