Overdrive is for highway driving, which is great for gas mileage. Also, not to use overdrive when going up or down hills because it makes your transmission work harder. That's what I was told anyways.
Yes
No
Turns the Overdrive on and off. Used for towing because you should never tow with the transmission in overdrive.
Overdrive should be used when you're pulling a trailer or extra weight in the bed. At a lower RPM there is more torque, therefore more pulling power.
The overdrive is designed for speeds after 50 mph so your overdrive should not be engaged until you are driving on the highway. The overdrive gear is designed for fuel efficiency and does nothing in town.
For most drivers, Overdrive should be used full time. Its designed to reduce the amount of effort the engine needs to maintain speed. Whenever a lot of shifting is taking place, its recommended to only used Drive. Roads with a lot of hills, curves, or heavy traffic areas should not use overdrive to prevent damage to the transmission. Also, disengage overdrive whenever towing. There is not enough torque generated by the engine to tow while in overdrive. Towing while overdrive is engaged can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
not recommended overdrive is for cruising at highway speed
No. Overdrive should be turned off when towing any trailer.
I am a bit confused. Overdrive is a high gear used for highway purposes. You should always try to use overdrive unless the Jeep is under a heavy load or climbing hills. Thus when towing it's probably best to not to use overdrive.
You should leave the car in overdrive at all times, unless driving conditions dictate otherwise. The overdrive is intended to optimize fuel consumption.
Overdrive allowed is the normal position
Overdrive should always be on unless you are towing something heavy.
