Guest rich robs Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi I have recently purchased my first supra. Having never owned a auto box before could someone pls explain the overdrive button to me pls? Also should it be on or off for everyday driving? Thanks Rich Robs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 it would probably be rude to just say "OH F.F.S." Congratulations on your recent Supra purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 When ON it just means you won't get higher than 3rd gear, you won't get into 4th unless it's OFF. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 When ON it just means you won't get higher than 3rd gear, you won't get into 4th unless it's OFF. Have fun! Isn't it wierd how it's sort of 'backwards'. I was going to suggest that it's the reverse of that but really the button should just be labelled "O/D", rather than "O/D Off" then it'd make more sense. "If you turn off the off button, then it's on" (IYSWIM). Or perhaps we're confusing the warning light with the switch function itself. Damn I'm thinking too much, I think I'm tired.

hogmaw Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 uh, maybe you're right. I'm tired too YAWN. But I think we mean the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
