Anytime you don't want the transmission to shift into overdrive * if you are towing something , or if you are driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting between drive and overdrive , you can use the button on the end of the gearshift lever on your 1998 Ford Expedition to shut off the overdrive ( the word OFF will light up on the end of your gearshift lever )
