The D inside of an O is for overdrive. It is an automatic overdrive transmission. There isn't an overdrive button on it. If you want to disable the overdrive you have to shift down a gear.

The D inside the O is overdrive. You manually shift into overdrive at 40 MPH or above for increased mileage. Your transmission is probably a 700R4

I have a 2009 Toyota Fielder it has an automatic transmission gear box. But it has letters P, R,N, D-S & B.What do these leters D-S,B stand for?

P means Park. Put the shifter here every time you walk away from the vehicle. It is using the gearbox as a parking brake.It will roll a tiny amount as the park gear catches into position, but usually no more than the width of your foot. It doesn't matter if the engine is running or not.
R means Reverse. This is the position you use to make the vehicle go backwards.
N means Neutral. The Vehicle is NOT in gear so if left on a slope without the parking handbrake, (E brake), ON it will roll away.
D means Drive. This is the position you use for general everyday driving. It lets the engine use the whole of the gearing range.
S means Sport. This alters the setup in the gearbox to give the vehicle a slightly higher performance compared to the 'D' position.
B means Braking. More correctly called 'Engine Braking'. This is the gear you use if you are going down steep hills. Note some companies use 'L' instead of 'B'. It usually means Low, as in low gear.
It uses the gears in the transmission to create drag on the engine which acts as a braking effect. It helps prevent you 'riding' your brakes on really steep downhills. If brakes get too hot they don't work as efficiently.
