Best Answer

When you push the button it turns od off. There should be a little light that comes on that says "o/d off". The only times you don't want to use it are when pulling trailers or towing, up steep hills, anything that makes your vehicle work harder than normal.

The button does not switch from Overdrive to Automatic. The button just turns the overdrive off. Overdrive is not a separate drive system as your question implies. Normally you leave the car in overdrive mode. That way the transmission shifts into overdrive at highway speeds, thus saving fuel. If you are saying the transmission is stuck in overdrive and it will not disengage then seek out a A/T professional.
