    overdrive = 4th gear, drive with it off, if you go over 80 or 90 turn it on

    I just leave O/D on. More fuel economical.

    O/D is your 4th gear. With it off you have a 3 speed gearbox.

    no.. leave it on..

    your auto box chooses the gear that is best suited to the speed and terrain...

    even when your doing 60km/h there is a difference when its on and off...

    so when your doing anything up to 90km/h like baz says your making the engine work more when it doesnt have to

    put your foot down and watch your dash.. the power light will come on... when your flat to the floor it knows you want to go fast.


    goes for broke:when you go all out:when you go weally weally fast
