The transmission defaults to overdrive, as well as enabling the 4th gear. There is a button on the end of the shifter that disables overdrive for times when it is rapid switching between 3/4th gear due to a certain speed etc. It can also be disabled to assist going up large hills for example or by improving engine braking properties. For normal use OD should be left on as is.
