Thanks Charlie!! Let us know how it all plays out! Sounds like there are a few solutions that can work depending on the situation at reasonable speeds: (1) Setting cruise control to keep the BS at a set speed will automatically drop gears for engine braking when going down most hills, (2)...

I will try this on my road, too! I've used Sport Mode, Low gear, but not cruise control yet. I'll try setting it around 30 and see how it flows on my mountain drives.

Thanks for the heads up, Dave, and for experimenting on our behalf! :) Sounds like setting cruise control at a non-runaway speed worked for you for some engine braking. I wonder if it has a similar or same electronic signal in cruise control as it does when engaging the L button? Someone else...

Very helpful, thank you Me3! I have not tried using cruise control alone as an engine brake but it sounds like it only works well in that scenario on less steep grades like "normal" highways/freeways. I sure wish we had an indicator too for which gear the trans is in! I've been using L a few...

Hey Kong! Been using the L and wanted to report back. While going downhill, steep enough where your foot is on the brake pedal, you can push (and release) the L button while the dial is in D. It will drop a gear or two and find itself in a comfy (at least in my experience so far) RPM range for...

Thanks MK! I will report back after my drives up and down the mountain tomorrow.

Thank you, Dude!! I'm new here and I guess I didn't do the best job searching the forum.. Any tricks and tips for uncovering threads when I do a search? I got links for this forum via Google search but when I used the search bar on this website I didn't get great results. Either way, thank you...
