Question Where is the "O/D Off" indicator light??

I do not know if my 99'RX300 AWD has O/D function. It does have a button, but no light weather it is off or on. Anybody has the same?

If you turn the O/D OFF it'll show up next to the gear selector area on the dashboard... I believe it's to the bottom left. If O/D is ON there is no light...

Do you recall if the light come in when the car is in electronic "limp home" mode or just when the button is pushed in?

I checked again, there is no "O/D Off" on the dash board nor any where at all (when O/D button is off). I read the Owner Manual Page 173, they mention and have a little picture of the light, BUT NO LOCATION!!! I am missing something here. Anybody know the page in the Owner Manual or exact location or my car does not have this function? Will check rpm at 75mph. Thanks

Download this PDF...it tells you how to test each bulb in the instrument cluster (page 15 for O/D OFF light).

Your O/D indicator bulb must be blown out, or the cluster is bad. There is a light indicator that will show "O/D OFF"
