Yes
the best car for icy roads are rally cars with studed tyres or good off road cars with good grip tyres
On a 1999 Mercury Cougar : Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( it won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway ) If you find that the transmission is frequently shifting between overdrive and drive ( such as hilly roads ) then it is best to use the transaxle ( transmission ) control switch on the side of your gear shifter to shut off the overdrive ( O/D OFF will appear in your gauge cluster )
"Overdrive off" is appropriate for hilly roads and mountains, also you can use when you need some extra performance, for instance, when you are entering a highway and you need to accelerate very quickly to reach the speed you need. Some models recommend overdrive off for towing. It's highly not recommended to use the overdrive function for everyday driving because it wears engines and transmissions out quicker.
To sit off Lincoln Overdrive, you need to take the Lincoln Overdrive exit from the main highway. After exiting, follow the signs to access the local roads or areas you're interested in. Make sure to follow traffic regulations and be aware of your surroundings. Always plan your route ahead for a smoother experience.
Normally the overdrive is allowed , so the overdrive OFF light does not light up When the overdrive is switched off , the overdrive OFF light will light up to let you know that the overdrive has been switched off
An off road vehicle wood be the best car for snowy conditions.
The overdrive is "ON" when the light is "OFF". Notice the light for the overdrive has a slash through it.
If the overdrive's off light is on that means it's off. If it is off then the overdrive is on.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position so you don't see the light on If you turn OFF the overdrive , the overdrive off light will light up or if there is a problem the overdrive off light will flash
Yes. Overdrive is best used with longer trips at relatively constant high speed. City driving, with lots of stops, starts, and slow speeds is not what the overdrive is intended for.
Overdrive ON is the normal position But if you are towing something or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting from overdrive to drive , then you want to switch the overdrive off
If the light says off then your overdrive is turned off, push the button again and the light will turn off and overdrive will be on again.
