As an interface designer, I am puzzled by the =E2=80=9Cpush for on=E2=80=9D=
solution. It seems somehow inappropriate as well as unnecessarily =
complex.
Overdrive seems to me to be a function where a clear on/off toggle is =
the natural mode of engagement. Sometimes I want it on, sometimes off, =
and I want to know which mode it is in.
But then, I think the =E2=80=9Cstart button=E2=80=9D on modern cars is =
idiotic. So YMMV.

That has a warning light to say it has been locked out, rather than one =
to say it is engaged. More info here =
