    mga sir im super noob talaga dito sa overdrive on at overdrvie off

    meron akong mitsubishi lancer glxi 1996 automatic tranny

    tanong ko lang po kung pano po ba talaga gamitin itong overdrive off at over drive on?

    A:Over drive OFF (naka bukas ang ilaw sa dash board) yan po ba yun?

    B:patay ang ilaw sa dash board ano po meaning nyan naka Over drive ON ba ako?

    how does it work at pano ko po pwedeng gamitin yan?

    The overdrive is basically an extra gear meant for better fuel economy on open roads where you can cruise. Generally you can just keep it "on" unless you need to use engine braking (like driving down a long downhill road) or driving with a very heavy load onboard the car.

    No "O/D OFF" light means the O/D is "ON".

    As I have said, you would normally want the overdrive active to give you better fuel mileage.
