But the OP's situation concerns B-mode vs simple ordinary D-mode driving without significant hill descents. I.e. without extended foot braking or cruise control drag, likely little or no heavy engine braking, so the above scenarios generally don't apply.

OP’s concerns were addressed in the first 2 replies. That is, nothing. The car will look after itself.

As far as the other sceanarios you mentioned, I haven’t played around with B that much so can’t really comment.

One reason we're all milling around: the Owner's Manual doesn't really explain B mode. I've heard it's there in part because it's mandatory to have some "low gear"?

I, also, wondered whether, in part, B was a legislative thing (like N) or whether the driver for it is just purely to make it like normal autos, and provide a simulated downshift.
