Got a question about my car.
Today we got a bunch of snow (4 freaking whole inches!) and of course the city didn't plow or salt.
I know to use 2nd gear on my automatic when starting out and for braking to help reduce sliding around, but my car also has Overdrive. The Overdrive is normally on, but I can turn it off with the little button on the gear lever. My question is this:
When I know I'll be shifting into 2nd due to the snow, do I have the O/D on, or off? Or does it even matter? The manual was useless......
