Why does over drive is on on your car?
Are you asking what overdrive is, and what it does? If overdrive is on when you are cruising on the highway, you are getting better fuel economy as your vehicle takes less energy to operate at higher speeds. Next time you are going 65 on the highway, turn off the overdrive and you will feel the engine drag as you are operating at a lower gear ratio. This is a feature of your tranmission to help balance out the negatives of operating an automatic over a manual.

Where and when should you use 'overdrive' switch of Mazda Protege?
In simple terms, overdrive is the final/cruising gear. It reduces the power output by lowering the gear ratio. The overdrive mechanism increases fuel efficiency, and saves strain on the transmission and the drive train. When the vehicle is started the overdrive is always on, but it can be turned off by a switch button, which is often located on the shifter. Turning the overdrive off will prevent the vehicle from shifting into the overdrive when traveling at the speed of around 40 MPH. It is recommended that the overdrive is constantly on under normal driving conditions. It should be turned off when, for example, hauling heavy loads or going up a long gradual incline.
What is wrong with my 97 ford wind star when it won't shift into overdrive unless i hit the accelerator real hard?
Overdrive is used when cruising at highway speeds to improve gas mileage. What you may be feeling instead is the car going into passing gear when you hit the accelerator very hard. This is not the same as overdrive.
