Cruise is when you’re catching cruise or vining

Just kidding I’m also waiting for experts to come address this

Equilibrium959:
Good morning…

I discovered that My O/D light blinks on the dashboard, then when I put the car on D (drive) it doesn’t take off not until I match the turtle.

Please, I needs help.

Which state are you?

1. The Cruise Control helps you to maintain your speed steadily at where you set the cruise control without using the throttle when you are on the highway. All you have to do is to control the direction of the car by the steering wheel. The vehicle will maintain its speed without you pressing the accelerator. Once you press the brake, the cruise control is deactivated.

2. The Over Drive (OD) helps your car to run at a higher speed without laboring your engine. The OD will reduce your RPM even when your car is at a high speed, thereby reducing your engine labour and fuel consumption. This will make your engine last longer.

The difference between Cruise Control and Over Drive is that, when you set the cruise control, you dont use your throttle/accelerator again while your vehicle keeps speeding at the steady kilometer per hour rate you want. BUT with the OD while you keep using your accelerator to determine your speed, your engine will not suffer any pressure or labour. The OD is best used when you are at top speed on highway, as the speed will not strain your engine. OD will not let your engine overwork by the speed.
Caveat - OD is not to be used for towing or climbing uphill road.
Gurus, your thoughts and further explanations pls.

Cruise control allows you to maintain a set speed without using the accelerator. Once you've selected the speed, you can take your foot off the accelerator and the vehicle will cruise at that speed.

I thought they have already cured you of your craze?

Cruise control , avoiding catching Cruise with land cruiser

deavicky:
if u don't want to push the acceleration pedal (probably u want to relax) u engage the cruise and the vehicle starts driving itself. It's like an autopilot.

Thank you I’ll try it out for myself

Joyceaile:
Please house what does this work for?

yeman1:
I used cruise all the time to relax my leg most especially on third mainland bridge

aycapri:
what if I apply brake then release it, will the car still go back to the “set” speed?

Papichulostunne:


Nice google research.. That was what the OP should have done instead of asking that silly question here.

How about on manual vehicles ¿

kernniejay:

I don't think manual vehicles have Over drive function. As for Cruise control, I think the manual transmission has to be in top gear like gear 4 or 5.

For me, I use cruise when I'm on the highway. It's efficient for fuel consumption and it keeps you at a steady pace on the highways.

O/D on the other hand makes the engine work harder, I use it when I'm ascending hills and when in trying not to get stuck in mud. Once you put on the O/D notice that the car feels a bit heavy and the speed reduces. Both functions are cool
