What does the odoff light mean?
1 Answers
odoff light indicates that the transmission will not shift into overdrive gear, only switching between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears. The functions of the odoff light are as follows: 1. When needing to overtake at high speed, for vehicles with 4-speed automatic transmissions running on highways, the transmission usually shifts to 4th gear, entering an overdrive state. When quick overtaking is required, pressing the "O/D button" will downshift to 3rd gear, increasing engine RPM and torque, allowing faster acceleration for overtaking. 2. When driving at low speeds in congested urban areas, activating odoff limits the transmission to gears below 3rd, reducing unnecessary shifts of internal solenoid valves while keeping the vehicle in lower gears also benefits acceleration.
