i don't think it matters in the city... unless your tranny hunts up and down between 3rd and 4th in the city. when i'm merging onto the highway, i usually keep it on D and accelerate to highway speed before switching over to OD.

No, it just means it won't shift into overdrive around 72 KM/H (45 MPH). If you are around 45 MPH and you are shifting into overdrive, then you give it a bit of gas to downshift back to third it's fine. But if it does it alot you build up a lot of heat and you can and will wreck your tranny.
