At what speed should the O/D be engaged on an Auto transmission? |
Re: The Overdrive by nurey(m): 1:01pm On May 23 |
O/D is engaged by default in normal driving meaning O/D is on when it is not shown on the dashboard you, can only disengage it by pressing the button. But normally the O/D should be left on while the vehicle is used in normal driving. |

paix: O/D is always "on" by default. When you press the O/D button and it illuminates on the dashboard, it is "off". 1 Like |

nurey: any affect on the car? |
Re: The Overdrive by nurey(m): 8:38am On May 24 |
codemaster2much: yes you are supposed to drive normal with O/D on. its when going through rough terrain, downhill descent and hauling heavy trailer that you may need the O/D off to stop the gear from entering higher ratio 1 Like |

lonelydora:I see, does it serve as gear 5 on the manual transmission? In what situations should the O/D be off? 1 Like |

paix: If it's off, it won't get that extra when needed |
