Daihatsu Charade overdrive switch

1993 Charade auto.The overdrive is on when ignition is on. You have to switch it off to drive without it. This seems to me to be back to front : i.e. in any other auto I have had with o'drive, the opposite was the case . ignition on , overdrive is off. Crossed wires or something, or is it normal for Daihatsu ? Someone here will know.

Normal - you're supposed to leave it on unless there is a reason to switch it off

we also have a Toyota Corolla fxgt ( same year, 1993 ), auto, which has the opposite o/d from the Daihatsu, i.e. ignition on, o/d off. so . ?
