As with most automatics, you can only force downshift into the lower gears (in this case, 2nd or 1st). On my Dodge, there is an OD Off button that keeps the transmission from going into overdrive. I guess the manufacturers figure that if you have an automatic, you don't really care what gear you're in - just that the shifting is being taken care of by the trans. As I think it over, I don't recall ever seeing an indicator on an AT that tells you what gear it's in as it shifts.

If you are refering to the button on the side of the shifter then it is the overdrive on / off button.Toyo joe
there is a power button on your shifter for extra power
well,if it's an automatic,then it's probably an overdrive on/off button.
If you are unable to press in the button to move the shifter. Replaces the brake switch connected to the brake pedal.
put your foot on the brake push in the button the button in an the shifter and move it back to reverse or drive that's for an automatic anyway
That would be the OVERDRIVE selector switch.
Remove shift release button off the top of the shifter, inside there is a small snap ring. Remove the snap ring and lift the shifter knob off.
if it has a S on it, it is like sport mode it keeps you in a lower gear
It is the eject passenger button, do not push it unless you really dislike the passenger in the car with you
the ets button should be locater right on the side of the shifter. i know for a fact on a 97 2.2L sunfire automatic tranny.
If you have amanual transmission You have to push down on the plastic ring above the shifter boot. after you push down the ring, Now you can unscrew the shifter knob. IF you have a automatic transmission you have to remove the screw on the side of the shifter knob. (Be careful the button on the shifter knob is spring loaded)
