Default Overdrive

Hi,

This must be a silly question, but I am new to Lexus. How do I engage in overdirve? Is there an O/D button somewhere? I have a 2012 RX 350 AWD.

Thank u.

overdrive? what year is this, 1999? sorry couldnt resist.

welcome to the forums!

the original 1999 RX300 1st generation had an overdrive button but it only had 4 gears. Since then, with 5 and 6 speeds, the need for overdrive is out.
