But dealer told me that the D include the fourth speed and overdrive. In this case, it is 5-speed. I have no idea. Can it be called 5-speed? Thanks for advices.

it is. for instance you have actually 3 gears you often use (D3) but your overdrive gear is the 4th.

same thing with cars with a D4 setting. the 5th gear is the overdrive.
