Your vehicle has an overdrive button on the shifter maybe. When you start your vehicle, overdrive is always on. When you tow something, you want the overdrive to be off, otherwise the transmission will run hot and that will lead to bigger problems.


How do you use overdrive button in Ford Explorer 2000?

If you don't want the transmission to shift into overdrive ( such as when towing a trailer , or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting between drive and overdrive ) push the button on the end of the gearsfift selector ( P R N etcetera ) and the O/D OFF light will appear in your dash . Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but on my 1995 Ford Explorer doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm going around 50 Miles Per Hour


Do you supposed to leave your overdrive on while driving?

Overdrive is the normal position - if you are in hilly areas and find the transmission keeps shifting back and forth between overdrive and drive , you can use the overdrive cancel switch to shut off the overdrive feature and if you are towing something you also want to shut off the overdrive

What do one do when Ford Mondeo flashes overdrive in the dash board?

So first I do not have this vehicle. In general when you see overdrive light flash or stay on, it means overdrive has been turned on. In most vehicles the overdrive button is either on the gear shifter or on the stiring colum. If you dong want or need overdrive on then just press the button. If your light stays on, then it could be something different and not so simple.


Where is off button for overdrive in Hyundai atlantra?

I own a 2000 and it's on the gearshift. I honestly can't think of a time that you would want to turn it off...possibly going down a long steep grade and then it wouldn't be that much help.
