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.

O/D is always "on" by default.

When you press the O/D button and it illuminates on the dashboard, it is "off".

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

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

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