Means...Over Drive. Me use for over taking.

Once you press, it move to 'lower gear' with more 'power'

Usually we don't need this function.

Hope it help.

How about when going up the a 'steep' slop, than we activate the O/D instead of shifting the gear to 1 or 2 while on the move?

Like driving from beach road to ECP where the road is Steep?

Not necessary if you step the accelerator harder. I usually use it for engine brake
