A modern car is extremely rich in various equipment and equipment, the entire arsenal of which is not used by any driver. But everyone pays for it. So
When buying another car, especially a used one, that doesn’t require a mandatory “excursion” from a car dealership manager, a lucky car owner gets a pig in a poke. In addition, Schrödinger’s cat and a bag in a square. Let’s be objective, we do not know 100% the whole truth about the car, which reports do not get, and we have heard about the equipment at best. It is necessary to sit down and understand, and not only with the lift and tools, but also with the operating instructions.
What does a key with an incomprehensible picture mean? What does the icon on the dashboard say? Our traditional maximum: red – you can not go, yellow – you can go, but carefully and accurately, green – something is included. It would be nice to fully communicate with technology, with mutual understanding, because then you can get the most out of the money invested. A car is a smart piece of hardware that can not only tell the driver about the presence of a problem, but also help to get out of the water dry in a variety of situations.
A good example is the yellow OD/OFF icon on the dashboard. What is this all about? If we try to follow the order of his appearance, we come to the absence of sequences. Is this a malfunction? Or did electronics decide to intervene in management? A thoughtful search leads to an unexpected revelation: the “bulb” is lit by an accidentally pressed button on the automatic transmission selector lever when switching between transmission modes. Maybe this is a hidden “turbo mode”? Or the launch of the reject system?
No need to reinvent the wheel, but it was still worth reading the manual: OD is overdrive or overdrive, which is equipped with classic automatic transmissions. In normal driving mode on the highway we use it: less fuel consumption, easier on the engine and automatic transmission. But sometimes it is necessary to overtake or just go up a hill, which is not easy for low power motorcycles or owners of heavy trailers.
In this case, you must press the OD / OFF key on the gear lever, which will lead to a downshift. Roughly speaking, we temporarily convert a 5-speed transmission to a 4-speed transmission, which requires the engine to run at higher speeds and the car to go faster. A sharp press on the gas pedal, called a “kick-down”, has a similar effect – the box also switches to a lower one, the speed increases, the car gains sharp acceleration.
Why does the OD/OFF icon light up yellow? Yes, all because it is impossible to drive in this mode all the time – the engine and transmission consume resources faster. Therefore, after performing the overdrive maneuver, it is in fact worth turning it on and switching to normal driving mode.
