Drive mode - D, D1, D2

[eclaire]

hi guys, i would like to know what's the difference b/w the D modes?

[CustomGolf]

D1 is like your first gear and D2 is your second gear, these 2 are more for climbing or going down severe slopes which is seldom used in Singapore. D is like your third gear (with OD off, the yellow light on your meter is on) and 4 gear with OD on. I normally would play with the OD button when I merge traffic or when overtaking.

Some MSCP very steep too.  D2 may come in useful, though D also can go up but feel the car struggle a bit when full load.  Think OD effect kicks in only after certain minimum speed, else won't feel it.

bro 4AT don have OD mode rite? if have where isit?

OD = OverDrive
it is automatically selected unless you activate the OverDrive Off function by pressing the button on the gearshift (on right side facing driver)

[CustomGolf]

OD is the default mode when you select D in your 4AT. As mentioned, the OD off button is facing the Driver on the gear shifter. If you still don't know where is this, place your hand over the gear shifter in the most natural position, it's near your thumb.

Use sparingly .  OD consumed lot of fuel

cheers

actually it is OD (OverDrive) Off that will increase fuel consumption .........

Erm, just wondering, coz the menu says to press brakes before changing gear - what about changing between the various D modes - do I have to brake to a complete stop before I can change between the different D modes?

That should be meant for when you are shifting out of P or N.

you only need to depress the foot brake pedal (and push button A - the top button on the right hand side of the gear selector lever) when you change from Park to Reverse

you do not have to be at complete stop when you shift down to lower gear
if you check the manual, there are speed limits whereby you must not change to lower gear otherwise engine may over-rev and cause engine damage

Position 2 is 100 km/h
Position 1 is 55 km/h

note : when you change from position 2 to position 1, you will need to push the button A

if not sure, you can read pages 5-9 to 5-12 of the manual (Printing : March 2009 (09) version)

hope these will help you

If used correctly it should reduce your FC, if you are merging and do not have enough power to merge properly, you'll need to slow down and later got tp pick up speed again, I believe this will use more petrol than if you merge at a higher speed thus reaching crusing speed at a shorter time.

Hi Jazz,

What brand is your sound system (SS)?
Is it the one supplied by TC?
I had set mine (instructions in the SS manual) and it is ok.

When ignition switch is in off, clock is off.
Maybe, the key position is at Acc (2) whereby the electrical accessory power activates without the power turned on?

Yo Silver,
Mine is the default by JVC.

Yes, when the ignition switch is off, clock is off. But got 1 forumer requested his SE to activate to permanent on.
