first time for me to drive a car with overdrive features..so i'm not so sure what is the correct way to use it...
for those who doesnt know much about overdrive, can refer here :-

QUOTE
How an overdrive unit works
The overdrive consists of an electrically or hydraulically operated epicyclic gear train bolted behind the transmission unit. It can either couple the input driveshaft directly to the output shaft (or propeller shaft) (1:1), or increase the output speed so that it turns faster than the input shaft (1:1 + n). Thus the output shaft may be "overdriven" relative to the input shaft. In newer transmissions, the overdrive speed(s) are typically as a result of combinations of planetary/epicyclic gearsets which are integrated in the transmission. In these cases, there is no separately identifiable "overdrive" unit. A number of such transmissions and transaxles are manufactured by Aisin, for use in vehicles produced by many different manufacturers. In older vehicles, it is sometimes actuated by a knob or button, often incorporated into the gearshift knob, and does not require operation of the clutch. Newer vehicles have electronic overdrive in which the computer automatically adjusts to the conditions of power need and load.
despite the info shown above, i'm quite confuse on the overdrive function because :-
1) i have the wrong perception earlier that overdrive is like lower your gear from 3rd to 2nd (for auto) and like 5 gear to 4th gear (in manual). more power and higher rpm when you need to overtake any vehicle in front. in other words, if i'm driving auto, i'm using D gear and when i wanna overtake a car with more power, i'll change to 2 gear. but instead of doing that i will on the "overdrive" and it should have enough power to overtake it.
but with the explanation above in wikipedia, it seems like overdrive is to change from 3rd gear to virtual 4th gear. meaning better fuel saving and lesser rpm.
so am i wrong having my own thinking earlier?
if i am, should i keep the overdrive function ON all the time for myvi auto?
i heard from my friend frequent use of overdrive is not good for the gearbox...
abit confuse alridi...
