On a 1997 Ford Expedition :

It may not shift into overdrive until you are travelling around 50 MPH (80 Km/H) and you will see the RPM on the tachometer drop.

* If the overdrive has been SWITCHED OFF using the switch on the end

of the gearshift lever, then OFF will light up near the end of the gearshift lever.
