The Purpose of Overdrive Off ++
I apologize to those who do not drive themselves, as this will be completely incomprehensible to you💦
If you are thinking, "I'll pass on this article!🙅," please jump to the other article I've posted just below☟😅
It seems that the mechanisms and structures of passenger cars are changing with the times, and this is a proposal✍ made under the circumstances where the [switch] in the title is disappearing from the side of the shift lever in the first place(*1).
This switch is located on the right side of the lever.
How many answers can you give to the question, "When should I use it?"
《What it means for overdrive to be off is...》
◆In the case of a 4-speed AT car, it is a state where 4th gear is not used
= Temporarily becoming a 3-speed AT car
*An intermediate setting that does not drop down to "2nd" gear, which is displayed below "D"
That is an accurate explanation, but,
"When do you use it?"
⇒ Is the most common answer "When I want to use engine braking on a downhill slope"? There are many such explanations(*2).
In other words, it is [to lower the gear], but my perspective, among others, is this.---
◆On an uphill slope, it automatically shifts to 3rd gear, but when things settle down a bit, it tends to shift back up to 4th gear so (and because it will drop back to 3rd gear after a while anyway), to prevent that
= [To keep the gear from shifting up]
It is the opposite perspective, you see🤗
Entering the AI era without this kind of habit of control based on "intent"... it raises a certain kind of anxiety😩
(*1) Due to the spread of CVT-equipped cars? In online articles, expressions like "it used to be on AT cars" have started to appear(◎_◎;)
(*2) On long downhill slopes, if you keep pressing the foot brake, it can overheat and stop working. Using engine braking is effective to avoid this.
