I recently bought a Volvo 760 GLE -83 and its my first car with a automatic gearbox.. and I also noticed the "OD" button on it. And I know it stands for Overdrive.. but when and how do I engage the overdrive by pressing the button?
Is there anything to keep in mind? I read that they are quite fragile or something.. anyone? Its my second car ever, I've only gotten my drivers license last year.. So i'm not to familiar with cars yet.
And also, if you have any tips what to keep in mind when driving such a car.. if there is a typical problem with these cars that I should look for before its too late.. I know that the engine in mine (PRV-V6) has some mechanical problems in the ´83 model.

Thanks in advance,
Esa Salminen
