Overdrive is just a name to describe revolution of engine crankshaft less then the revolution on the wheel. This normally occur at the highest gear shift no matter it's auto or manual gear box. So, switch off overdrive while overtaking is like shifting manual gear from 4 to 3, or 5 to 4.

In other words, Output revs is faster than Input revs.Take a very simple example, riding a Racer bicycle, have the front gear adjust to the biggest and the rear gear to the smallest, here you have an OVERDRIVE.

QUOTE(bearbear @ May 7 2007, 03:00 PM) It's default on, when u push the button it will show "O/D OFF" and your rev go higher. since when altis got O/D function? so geng ah... So leave it ON for normal driving, OFF it if you need that extra bit of power to overtake. I do OFF it instead of pushing to 2nd gear/brake to slow the car a little sometimes haha  |

OD is not NOS or whatever....its not "geng" =.=" ...when u press that OD button ....what it does is sort of downshift 1 gear and ur revs will go higher so u will have better acceleration and when u press the OD button means it is OD OFF

OD button on or off is just another way for you to manually shift ur automatic gears la. nothing else.
u see those cars without OD button, but then they have PRND32L (Assuming its a 4 speed tranny). Those with OD button, then they will have PRND2L (Also 4 speed). |

For every car, their OD (if available) is always on as default. Overdrive means changing the gear up faster as to improve fuel economy. The car will automatically reduce unnecessary revving at the same gear (unless it's the final gear). And if you press the OD button, the display 'OD off' will appear which denotes overdrive function is turned off, you will realise that the rev is more aggresive and more power is delivered but on other hand, fuel economy is not optimised.

QUOTE(BridgestoneRE711 @ May 8 2007, 08:17 PM) as i said the OD is like the top gear . it will go into the top gear if it passes the power range . that's what I'm experiencing most of the time. So does it means that if I feel the car isn't accelerating (drag at 50) I should OFF OD?when u floor it , the ECU or sensor will detect it as a sudden power , hence it will downshift to give more torque . the problem is in city driving , u wont be pressing the pedal hard or what . suddenly u are doing 60 , and it will shift into 4th . just after u hit 60, u suddenly see the car in front slow down , u will slow down also . and the gear will not downshift so fast , hence when u want to accelerate , it will dragg 50km/h at 4th gear(top gear) , ur car will feel sluggish . then only u floor it to make it downshift to 3rd gear to accelerate back to 60 . but in manual , u can control better , that is why OD is enable in auto boxes . Also can OD be switch OFF/ON on any speed? say if i'm driving at 80km/h, I want to overtake to right lane but right lane has car coming fast. Can I switch OFF OD at that time then turn on again. Will it spoil anything? |
