MAKE SURE THERE'S NOBODY CLOSE BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU DO THIS! After the engine braking has slowed you down and recharged the batteries, you can safely shift back to Drive on the fly. The engine braking will stop and you will again start to gain momentum if still on the decline. I typically shift into B just as I start going down a hill, then back to Drive as I approach level ground again. |
