Traffic Rush 01 - Overdrive & O/D OFF....How to Use it? [Ben Lau] 

This explains it so well with my 2003 Tacoma. It has this feature and I've always wanted to know how it works! Thank you.

Im glad currently car makers have eliminated this confusion called "Overdrive" and have built better transmissions

Turning Overdrive on is keeping the gear at midrange to remain in high torque requirement like in going up hill and down hill to reduce break usage.

Thanks for the info! There are a few spots on my commutes that my car has trouble with. Ill have to try this!

Helpful video. I was too confused with this function. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. You have really helped me.

Should OD off be used when going down a hill?

Thanks dude for keeping it sweet and simple

I only turn it off when I'm pulling a trailer.

Thanks but what does it mean when O/D is continuously appear in the tab and the car can't move faster ?

understanding level is 50-50 for me. So, to clear them- 1) overdrive on means speedup? 2) what if i always keep it on? (dashboard light is not popping, so i assume its on) 3) or always turn it off? i have camry 2004

Thanks 👍. Good explanation.

Merhaba benim 1998 model mondeom var. 4 e gecmiyor. 3 viteste uzun yol gittigi zaman 4 e gecemediginden o/d off isigi yanip sonuyor. O/d off işlemsiz . Sizce ne olabilir

Does over drive function interfere with speed of the vehicle including gears changing?

Sooo basically it’s like another sport mode because I have a 2018 Altima and it has sport mode and the over drive button I’m confused

thanks for the video, quick and thorough explanation!

Very confusin simply tell when the light blinks on speed meter what it means, OD is on or of. It is functiong and car in third gear. If no light its mean high spead and good fuel average.

I first believe you use overdrive on when climbing a hill after careful consideration and calculation i discover dat turning on the overdrive switch on an hill is very bad to the transmission cause at that point it need torque not speed so what are the gear responsible 1st,2nd 3rd it before you climb a hill you put on the overdrive not when you are on the high already everyother point you made are correct

Excelente explanation. Thanks

Nice, editing 👌👍👏😀

Your dash board all lights should be off except drive while driving

Wow....this nice

I hit the O/D button on my shifter while I was driving, the lights started blinking and the button won't turn it off while I'm driving. When I turn the truck off and restart the light is gone but as I'm picking up speed the O/D light comes back on flashing. I have a 2004 ford ranger 3.0 automatic transmission. Can I bypass this feature so I can go back home. I'm out of state. When I'm driving and the light is blinking the button won't turn the overdrive back on. It drove out of state really good. Please help me with this issue

Great explanation!

So I turn it in over speeds of 45? Im so lost

Lies I have a 2016 Nissan Versa with the same button

6 speed also have overdrive

Thanks Until now I was driving in the lower gear on highway

Nissan sentra B17 comes with this

Situation 3: Hauling heavy loads/pulling trailer

Thank you very much

good informatif channel

good video thanks

Its name should have been '''4 th gear off

Yo so when the button is not pushed in on the dash it’s a firm light and then when pressed in it blinks which on is off ? 💀😂 plz someone let me know

Thanks

We don't have that button these days because ,we are being forced to like the CVT gearbox 😂😂😂😂
