"OD off" prevents the car from going into the highest gear. If you are climbing a steep hill with OD ON, you will notice the vehicle will lose speed despite your stepping on the gas pedal harder. If you step on it hard enough the A/T will compensate by downshifting into a lower gear to provide more power at a higher engine RPM.
