    See What is the "B" on the gear shift joy stick?

    This question has been asked many many times.

    Good Luck getting a Salesman that really knows how "B" should be used and can communicate it. They'll tell you it stands for "Buy" the car.

    Short answer on how to use it in normal driving: don't. It should be used only on very long downgrades to avoid riding the brake. I don't think there's any place in Ontario that needs it. Maybe near Mont Tremblant or in the Adirondacks.
