O/D - Over Drive... when travelling on normal roads, usually do not have to switch on...
i seen the function of O/D from other rides manual thou...something like when you are driving on some uneven/wet/sandy road & you switch off the O/D function (means lights on).... it prevents u from overdrive (running at lower rpm) & prevent you from skidding.
something like this lah.... dun flame me if its wrong...

in short, its gonna drop a gear when u engage the OD. Good for overtaking or when u need the sudden acceleration power too...

So if the light is on, does it mean that I am on Overdrive mode?
So how can I make use of it? The switch is at my Auto Transmission shifter handle.
Can let me know?

you shd be driving at overdrive mode (as standard)...means light is off.
if light is on (stated O/D Off), u are switching off your overdrive mode n you will feel the 'pull' or so called lower gear.... very 'tight' in moving off.
You can use it if u not travelling on a smooth surface rd or like bro ronnyboy say...press the button n switch to 'O/D Off' mode for: overtaking or when u need the sudden acceleration power too...
but so far, i hv not use it on sg road nor even msia road.....

OD Light ON = Lock at gear 3 will not engage to gear 4 OD Light OFF = Engage to gear 4 automatically. During normal driving, OD Light should be OFF. Even at 140km/h, you can still use OD to overtake...haha
