In other words, do mean cars run faster in D2 than in the ordinary D? And at what point should it be relevant to On Overdrive or Off Overdrive? When to use OD, is when you want to act like those actors in fast & furious. |

OD always confuses me....I'm gonna start using it since it helps Fuel consumption ......informative; there are lots of others like Cruise Don't use OD if you have fear of speed. |

thanks for this bro. my dashboard showed O/D last week I was confused cos I didn't know the meaning .But bro why did the OD light blink automatically ?
and pls what's the important of 'Cruise'? Cruise makes you move at an average speed. No matter how you accelerate, it wont go beyond that. |

They are sound system volume controls. No not that one... I sabi that one na.... This one looks like a lever. One on the right and another one on the left |

I have always wondered what the signs 'P','R','N','D','2','L' on automatic gear transmission systems represent and decided to google it. And so I share this info hoping it may be of help to someone somewhere.
So here we go:
• P (PARK) - the gear selector should be in this position when the car is parked as it typically locks the transmission so that the car cannot move. In conjunction with this, the parking brake (hand brake) may also be applied. On most cars, the engine cannot be started unless the lever is in this (or 'N') position.
• R (REVERSE) - selecting this position allows the vehicle to be driven in the reverse (backwards) direction.
• N (NEUTRAL) - in this position, the engine is disconnected from the drive train (gears) and the vehicle will not be propelled in either direction when the gas (accelerator) pedal is pressed. The wheels are not locked and the vehicle will be able to roll downhill if the brake pedal is not pressed.
• D (DRIVE) - this is the position that is typically used when the vehicle is being driven. As the vehicle increases (or decreases) in speed, the automatic gear box will select the correct gear for both speed and road conditions.
• 2 (GEAR 2) - typically, automatic gear boxes have 3 of 4 forward gears, so some vehicles may have both 2 and 3 marked on the hear selector. By using this position, the driver 'locks' the transmission in a lower gear so that the engine will run with increased revolutions. This is useful when rapid acceleration is desired. It should be noted that maintaining high revolutions in lower gears will increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle and also the stresses on the vehicle and passengers. It should therefore be used for short periods only.
• L (LOW) - (may be indicated by '1') this is the lowest gear (or 1st gear) available. This position is useful when the vehicle needs to negotiate difficult terrain (such as a steep incline with a poor surface). For downward slopes, the LOW gear provides additional braking through the engine.
• OD (OVERDRIVE) - for vehicles fitted with this option, an extra gear is provided that has a lower ratio than the normal top gear. The power output delivered by this gear is low in comparison to the normal gears and is used for high speed cruising (on interstates / motorways etc). Engine revolutions are reduced, as are noise levels. Fuel consumption is improved

Good job I drive auto too and I always notice a small tiny button under the gear handle apart from the main gear button; I mean just under the head on the gear rod of auto cars. Its in mainly nissan cars. What is it used for? See below -the arrow in d pic

Thanks OP. I want to know if you can shift the gear stick from D to 2 or 3 on motion? |

Lol. I used to loathe driving SUVs until recently. But I now enjoy driving mini vans and SUVs more than sedans; though I've never driven on cruise control
wait first, make I ask you question. Are you same with Cfc-fan? |
