QUOTE(ClericKn1ght @ Jul 26 2011, 12:46 AM) Just wanna ask, Where is the button to turn on / off for the OD for the New Myvi? by default should be somehwhere on gear lever. 1 small switch. btw, despite this is an old thread, im amazed that in first few pages almost all thought OD off = no light, OD on = light on dashboard lolol. just 2 days ago i ask my colleague why he turn off OD and he insist he is turning it on  |

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Jul 26 2011, 10:33 AM) Guys do you even know what an Over Drive gear is? In manual cars its the highest gear available. it is also called a cruising gear. If your car is 5 speed then 5th is your over drive gear. In automatic cars it is the highest calibrated/ tuned gear. In fact there is no highest gear but merely an adjustment in ECU to realize highest gear. Some like to call it virtual gear. im driving a 4 speeder car. without OD my max available gear would be 3rd gear which at certain higher speed will become noisy, draggy, and high fc. even if in city, u dont expect everyone to be driving below 80 dont ya? even if stuck in traffic jam, leaving od on or off doesnt matter since it doesnt have the speed to go above 3rd gear.....Under normal circumstances the OD button should be OFF. City driving u do not use OD at all. Only when you are travelling on constant speed u should use OD. In city driving if you use OD on, use more fuel. That is why some people reported high fuel consumption in their automatic cars because they do not realize how to use OD mode. Until they realize it they go "Oh Dang!!!" |
