I believe that the trailer button changes the shift points in the transmission so that the vehicle stays in low gear longer during periods of high stress (i.e. acceleration or prolonged uphill climbs).

Verify this with a GMC mechanic, but in the absence of an answer from someone who knows for sure, I would use the button when pulling a trailer.

AnswerIts called tow/haul mode. When towing or hauling something use this it changes the rpms so its easier on your motor and trannie when towing or hauling!

How overdrive functions in Ford Crown Victoria 1996?

The o/d button is on the end of the shifter. Usually you leave it on all the time. If you turn it off, it will tell you on the dash. The transmission is electronic and it will shift with the speed of the car. You turn it off if you are pulling a trailer.

What is the hidden button next to the stick shift in a Toyota Sienna?

overdrive off, on a 2003 it is in the end of the gear select lever If it's the hidden button I think you are referring to, should you experience electric release failure (where you cannot get the shifter out of park) pushing this button is a manual over ride allowing you to get the shifter out of park


What is wrong if your 1997 pathfinder dash display says overdrive off?

Usually means the over drive has been turned off. There should be a button usually on the gear shifter. On the column it is on the end of the shifter. Usually it resets when the engine has been turned off. This is something that you usually have to intentially do. If there is a problem with it then that could be also, but usually a check engine light comes on with it. Hope this helps.

How do you remove the overdrive switchbutton from a 1997 F150 shifter lever?

There is a little plastic ring at the end of the shifter, unless it has already fallen off, as they like to do. Pop off the ring and grab the button with a pair of pliers and pull it straight out. It is simply plugged in.
