To prevent the overdrive feature from activating in a Ford Focus while you're driving on the highway, simply press the overdrive button on the left side of the gear selector. This action will deactivate the overdrive function. Overdrive is a gear that helps lower your vehicle's RPMs when cruising, improving fuel efficiency. If your car is heavy or you need to accelerate quickly, I suggest turning off the system to have more power for fast driving.

    Find the overdrive button on the gear shift lever. You can locate the overdrive button on the left side of the lever, situated under the button for changing gears. Press it to deactivate the overdrive function.
