Overdrive is for highway driving, which is great for gas mileage. Also, not to use overdrive when going up or down hills because it makes your transmission work harder. That's what I was told anyways.
Yes
No
Turns the Overdrive on and off. Used for towing because you should never tow with the transmission in overdrive.
Overdrive should be used when you're pulling a trailer or extra weight in the bed. At a lower RPM there is more torque, therefore more pulling power.
The overdrive is designed for speeds after 50 mph so your overdrive should not be engaged until you are driving on the highway. The overdrive gear is designed for fuel efficiency and does nothing in town.
For most drivers, Overdrive should be used full time. Its designed to reduce the amount of effort the engine needs to maintain speed. Whenever a lot of shifting is taking place, its recommended to only used Drive. Roads with a lot of hills, curves, or heavy traffic areas should not use overdrive to prevent damage to the transmission. Also, disengage overdrive whenever towing. There is not enough torque generated by the engine to tow while in overdrive. Towing while overdrive is engaged can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
not recommended overdrive is for cruising at highway speed
I am a bit confused. Overdrive is a high gear used for highway purposes. You should always try to use overdrive unless the Jeep is under a heavy load or climbing hills. Thus when towing it's probably best to not to use overdrive.
Overdrive allowed is the normal position
Overdrive should always be on unless you are towing something heavy.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( it won't shift into overdrive until the speed is fast enough )
Normally the overdrive is allowed , so the overdrive OFF light does not light up When the overdrive is switched off , the overdrive OFF light will light up to let you know that the overdrive has been switched off
