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:

huh?? i was told by my SA to keep it off at all times unless when i overtaking for tt sudden burst of power needed. when u on it...u will see your rpm sudden jump to 5-6. my SA said using that frequently is a waste of fuel which defeat the purpose of good consumption of latio.

for me, after some tests, i feel tt i rather press my accelerator harder than to on the sports mode which eat up alot of fuel.

SoL:
Sports mode is different from OD off button.

Sport mode is found on CVT, ODoff is found on 4AT. What you say in the first paragraph is correct, that is for sports mode, on CVT.

On 4AT , turn off OD is push the button and orange light comes on.

so can anyone enlighten me like wat speed n wat rev then OD work ? for me, sometime i on it no diff, sometime it add another 1.5k - 2k of rpm. but close it then can tua to 6k, else stop at 5k. quite confusing actually. sometime i wan power n i off it dun see rev gain. from wat i know its actually the rev for that speed, like if its running 80km/h @ 2k is saving petrol so u off it, it will go to mayb 3k. anyone know from wat speed and wat rev then it work? so next time i noe its useful then off it, else off liao bo diff like dumb. hahax.

SoL:
Actually, OD is like 4th gear on a 4AT. So turning off OD is something like shifting down on manual. Eventually you have to shift up of course, after you max out the speed for that gear.

For me, if I need power I just press accelerator harder, and the TCU will automatically downshift for me. Don't need to be so mafan, push button. I think on steep slopes down you can turn off OD also, to give more engine braking.

Again I stress, OD is only on 4AT. For CVT its sports mode, and its different.
