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.
The drive belt is Serpentine so all you have to do is grab a 14mm socket and turn counter clockwise. This will force the pulley down enabling you to remove the belt.
It is because your shifter has not engaged in its place properly ( in park, P), therefore the ignition does not sense that it is in place and it wont let it turn and be pulled out.
bad fuse or bad switch
If the light says off then your overdrive is turned off, push the button again and the light will turn off and overdrive will be on again.

Overdrive is the normally allowed position so you don't see the light on If you turn OFF the overdrive , the overdrive off light will light up or if there is a problem the overdrive off light will flash
The overdrive off light flashing - indicates a malfunction has been detected
NO, leave the overdrive on. Only turn it off when pulling a heavy load or in a mountainous area. Overdrive improves your fuel economy.
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
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.
probably have to have a Lexus dealer turn it off
*Turn off Overdrive when Towing. (Trailer, Boat, etc.) *Overdrive is a transmission gear with a ratio below 1:1, which improves fuel economy by reducing engine revolutions per minute at highway speeds.
