It's usually on all the time unless you press the button each time you start the car. I think that normally the overdrive kicks in around 45 MPH.

That will turn off ( or turn back on ) the overdrive feature of your transmission When the overdrive is off , so the transmission only uses the first ( 3 ) gears the O/D OFF light will light up in your tachometer . Overdrive is the normally allowed position so if you shut the vehicle off , the next time it is started the overdrive feature is allowed or if you have shut the overdrive feature off just push the button again to turn the overdrive back on


What does it mean if your 1994 SC400 starts beeping when you turn it off?

On the Lexus it is designed to give you so many seconds to roll up the electric window or close the moonroof even with the key turned off, then it starts beeping at you to let you know that this feature will soon deactivate. It has to do with arming the alarm, so there is nothing wrong with you car.
