Say you're following slow traffic in top/OD, and you
see a chance to pass coming up; you throw the dash
switch and when it's clear you stomp on the
accelerator pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're
in a lower gear to pass. Doesn't work great--I usually
drop a gear too--but it's doable. Note older cars with
automatics usually have them, rigged to the throttle
