Volvo 1990 740 Model
The overdrive is automatically disengaged when downshifting from 4th gear, but you should always
disengage the overdrive manually before downshifting. To improve mileage it is recommended to use
the overdrive as much as possible at speeds above 45 mph (70 km/h).
The green control light "5" on the dashboard lights when the overdrive is engaged. See "Shift indicator
light" section for more information on economical use of the manual transmission.
