What does the o/d off light mean?

odoff light indicates that the car's overdrive is in the off state. Here is the relevant introduction about the o/d light: 1. When the o/d switch is on: od is the overdrive gear. When the gear lever is in the "d" position and the o/d switch is set to "on", the transmission can shift up to 4th gear. When the o/d switch is set to "off", the transmission can only shift up to 3rd gear at most, meaning the 4th gear is restricted. 2. The disadvantage of o/d being in the off state: When odoff is displayed, even if you accelerate to over 60 kilometers, the car will not shift to 4th gear but will continue to accelerate by increasing the engine speed in 3rd gear, thus increasing fuel consumption.
