It means the car is set so that it doesn't shift into the overdrive gear. This is typically done during towing.

What does od off mean on dashboard?

The OD light on dash stands for Overdrive. There is a button (usually) on the end of the turn signal lever. Some cars the button or switch is on the dash. If you push the button/switch the light will change to OD or OD on (may even go out) then you will be in overdrive. Being in overdrive is good except for steep hills or pulling a heavy load.


What is the OD-off on a car indicate?

Many Ford automobile and pickup transmissions have an overdrive function. Most can be turned on and off with a push-on, push-off switch, . The lighted OD-off or indicates that the overdrive function is disabled, turned off. If, while the vehicle is running, you push the button adjacent to the indicator that says OD-off, you will turn on/enable the overdrive function. When the overdrive function is enabled, the OD-off lighted indicator goes of, and there is no indicator when the overdrive is engaged.


Should OD be on or off on a car?

Always on, unless you are traveling down a steep hill where you need the extra braking power the engine will provide. You might also want to turn it off if you are pulling a heavy load, which is highly unlikely in a car. OD will improve your gas mileage. Turn it off and your mileage will suffer.


Why is my car getting hot were my shifts are od light is on but my od is off what does that mean?

od light is the overdrive unit on the transmission. If you drive on the freeway you should have the overdrive unit on, on the streets the unit should be off. The light usually doesn't have anything to do with overheating. I would look for some other issue.
