moving.Overdrive Cancel Button(Standard on Focus models with automatic transaxle)Focus lets
you be in charge. If youÕre towing or driving in the mountains,
you may want to switch the Overdrive OFF. Find the button on
the shifter handle, below the thumb button. A light on the
instrument cluster indicates when Overdrive is OFF. Overdrive
defaults to ON when you turn the ignition OFF and then ON again.Manual Transaxle Reverse Gear Lockout(Standard on Focus models equipped with the Zetec engine and
