Does anyone know what the HOLD light next to O/D off means. it hasnt come on but its killn me not knowing waht it is.

Mazda 929 V6 and other cars have a hold button beside the gearstick in the autos. When turned on it makes the car hold gears till it hits the redline and also prevents down shifts.
There probably wasn't a need for this in a Magna because the change in program with the power/economy button is enough to make the car hold gears when in power mode anyway

is it possible to make it turn on. these things get to me. :nuts:

OK. The HOLD light that is situated next to the O/D light is only to do with automatic transmissions. When the tranny is being gay eg. something breaks inside, as a safety feature the tranny will HOLD the gears in third as a backup. Its a feature that enables you to basically get some milk and drive to the mechanic to get it fixed.

So, in conclusion: if the HOLD light is on, something is SERIOUSLY wrong. :D

lol well u coulda told us that in the 1st place
but still thats some good info... i never really looked at my dash that carefully to realise something like that...

but how do i make it turn on???????? :bowrofl:

HAVING SAID THAT IF YOU DUMB ENOUGH TO TRY AT HOME I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR WHAT HAPPENS THIS IS ENTIRELY ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE IDIOT WHO TRIED IT.

ive had a drunk passenger put my car in park at 80Kph, It does nothing, Just rolls.

Passenger now sits in the back now

It wont do anything, as far as i'm aware, it'll just chuck your car into neutral until the speed is little enough to shift into R or D

Yes. Unless it's already stuffed, the transmission goes to neutral until the speed is sufficiently slow enough to avoid silly damage. Of course, you could always try Neutral-Reverse-Drive-BANG!
