Honda Odyssey with an automatic transmission will have a D4 button. Many people think this is the button that limits the shifting to the 4th gear. But actually, this button is called an overdrive button. So when activated, this system makes the intervals before changing the gears longer.
When you activate the D4 button, your Honda Odyssey can accelerate faster but it consumes more fuel. This system works as a kind of booster for your vehicle when you need faster acceleration, more dynamic drive.
Overdrive is a system that automatically improves the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle just by changing the pattern of shifting the gears. This system is commonly used by many auto manufacturers. In many cars, it's called differently, so remember that a Honda Odyssey will have a D4 button for turning this function on.
