I recently purchased a Ford EcoSport and noticed there is an Overdrive button on the gear shift. What is this button for? Should I use it in certain situations or leave it on all the time?
ReplyThe Overdrive button on your Ford EcoSport is used to switch between normal and extended driving mode. When you are driving on the highway or for a longer period of time, it is recommended to turn on the Overdrive mode. This reduces the engine speed and improves fuel efficiency. For city driving or in traffic, it is better to switch off the Overdrive mode.
As a rule of thumb, the Overdrive button is best used when driving at higher speeds or on long stretches of road. It helps to maintain a constant speed and is more fuel efficient. However, in stop-and-go traffic or when driving up a steep incline, it is recommended to turn off the Overdrive mode for better control of your vehicle.
