WARNING

[2pacalypse]

I was doing 120km in a straight road and I push the overdrive button of my 2000 hyundai coupe and I found my self spinning around and ended up in a road sign. I don't know if that happens accidentally or if is a general issue about the car.

[Mad-Machine]

you turned Overdrive off? Welcome to the wonderful world of instant downshifting.

[Blacktibs]

lol, yup.

[2pacalypse]

so if you push the overdrive button accidentally your fucked up!?

[rbuecker]

if you're not paying attention and accidentally hitting things like o/d, perhaps a car is beyond your skill level at this point :dead:

[Cottonmouth]

Was the road slippery or something?
:ermm:

I wouldnt push it, Id be worried about damaging the tranny. Same with the ECT, I normally kept it on all the time and tried not to turn it on or off while the car was in motion. I always kept the O/D on too cause I felt like the car was running sh!ttier than normal when it was off. And there were a couple times when I was driving and I had accidently hit the O/D off and didn't know it, and the car wouldnt shift out of gear, it would rev up to like 5k and stay there. I thought there was something wrong with my car, until I pulled over and realized the O/D was off.

Yeap it was a raining day, but what I'm trying to tell is that what safety and what technology hyundai uses in that kind of situations? I mean if somebody was doing 140 in a highway and a kid in the car pushes the o/d?
