Default switch with D in it ??

Hi, new to jeeps, can some one tell me what the square push button switch with a D in it next to the rear screen heater does? I didn't get an owners booklet with it, also how do you set the memory on the seat control.

Orvis 4.0 limited 1998

thats the overdrive button. If you push it, it turns off overdrive in the transmission. That is NOT a fog light switch

I've also used it to decelerate down long grades. It saves on brakes.
