If the O/D OFF indicator light (if equipped) is
flashing on and off when the vehicle is started or
does not come on when the O/D OFF switch is
pressed, it means there is a malfunction in your
transaxle’s electronic system. Contact your dealer as
soon as possible or damage to the transaxle may
occur.
Each time the vehicle is started, the transaxle will
automatically return to normal overdrive mode.
When to use D (Drive) or press the O/D OFF
switch (if equipped)
You will notice that
there is only one drive
position on your
gearshift indicator
(instead of Drive and
Overdrive). However,
you will find a control
labeled O/D located on
the gearshift lever.
Push in the switch and
the O/D OFF light in
the instrument cluster
will illuminate. With
the O/D OFF light
illuminated, the
transaxle will operate
in first, second and
third gears and will not shift into fourth gear.
Operating in D (O/D OFF) provides more engine
braking than Overdrive for descending hills or city
driving.
To return the transaxle to the normal Overdrive
operation, press the O/D OFF control again. Use this
control to select Overdrive or D (O/D OFF)
whenever you drive your vehicle.
