It enables the overdrive gear, often used on the highway to save gas. Use it.

the button disables overdrive for things like city driving. Make sure that overdrive is on when you are on the highway or you won't get as good of gas mileage. It is ok to leave it on all the time unless you are pulling a trailer or something it won't mess anything up.

Let's you turn the transmission's overdrive on or off. Overdrive means the transmission is in a gear that improves fuel economy, at the expense of power and acceleration. If you tow a trailer, or are in a very hilly area, turn off overdrive.

Overdrive is automatically enabled on the Toyotas when you start the car. This button is to turn it off (and to turn it back on again if you change your mind). O/D = Better gas mileage at higher speeds when you aren't shifting a lot.

this enables/disables the overdrive. the overdrive uses a smaller gear at higher speeds to save gas. this is found in the transmission

I adds an"extra gear" called overdrive. Defaintly have the overdrive on unless you are doing heavy towing/hauling

More beneficial on the highway as a fuel preserver.
