Hi all latios,

Any kind soul care to enlighten what is the function of the overdrive found in our latio? Can it increase our performance? For regular driving, should I turn it on or off?

I did hear from the SE that it has something to do with when overtaking when I take the car few months back ... but whether it should be on or off... i have totally forget already... forgot to write it down that time...

Please share ur tots.

thank you.

newbie.

overdrive button shld b off. it rev up ur engine and consume more fuel

SoL:
Overdrive is something like 4th gear on a 4AT. Always keep it on or else you will be travelling 80km/h at 3000rpm.

Overdrive is ON by default when you start your engine. If you push the button, the O/D OFF light will light up, indicating that you have turned it OFF. So only push the button if you wanna off it and overtake or something. Although, I just step on the accelerator harder, the effect is the same. I only turn it off when using engine braking.

Yes, the ON/OFF thing is confusing I know! :smile:

NSman:
in simple way, is

Indicator light up = OD is Off
Indicator light off = OD is ON

Tio bo?

Midnight:
When u off the OD, it is akin to dropping one gear for e.g. from 5th gear to 4th gear in a manual car. Usually is for short burst of power needed for overtaking or something, but i dun really use it because when i OFF the OD, my RPM goes up and engine very noisy and scary.  :unsure:
