The W/S button on the by the shift selector indicates what mode the transmission is in. "W" means winter and starts the car out in second gear to increase traction. "S" means sport and increases the amount of time (shown to you in RPMs) the car stays in a particular gear. "S" is designed to make the gear ratios taller, therfore adding to performance.

If a 1997 Nissan Altima has an amber-colored code O-D OFF on the dashboard to the right of the cruise control what is happening?

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, look on the shifter for a little button. If you find one somewhere, that button is for Overdrive(O/D). If you feel more of an engine brake, or notice that the car bogs down when you release the gas pedal, then that is what is happening. look for a button... if you find it, depress it. I hope I was of some help. Good luck. Added: There is a button on the driver side of the Gear Shifter (near the top). Gear shifter is the lever thatyou use to shift from P(ark) to N(eutral) to D(rive) etc. You can press the button On/Off. This shows up on the dashboard.

What is the button by the shifter of a automatic SC1 for?

the only button I know by the shifter is the for economy setting and power setting..from what I understand it changes the parameters in the computer control module to give the car more power and pep on the power setting or on economy setting it changes them to where the engine runs more efficiently. there is also a button that is usually on the dash near the shifter that controls the traction control if your car is equiped with that option, but that is usually on the dash,but I have seen them next to the shifter...if it is that button when you engage it you will get a light on the instrament panel showing traction control engaged. Turbo button when used drops the trany shifts into a lower gear to allow for quicker speed pickup time. but be careful not to over RPM the motor. keep a close eye on the RMP gauge.

Why is the Power light on dashboard of 2001 Suzuki XL?

Near the shifter there is a power/normal button ,if the light on the dash is on ,you must have put it in power mode.The power mode raises your shift points into a higher rpm range,it is used mostly if you are towing something heavy or if you need to accelerate a bit more aggressively.Also if you are in power mode and you put the shifter into second gear you will start off in second ,in normal mode you will start in first then shift to second ,this is usefull if you get stuck on slippery sufaces.
