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

It's default on, when u push the button it will show "O/D OFF" and your rev go higher.

changed to 2nd gear u mean?
normally what i'll do is turn off O/D first to get abit more power, if it's not enough then shift to 2nd gear. So i assume using O/D will save u some tear and wear on ur gearbox compare to shifting to 2nd gear? |
