coastin in neutral

[Rat Catcher]

B in Toyota (I've only ever seen it in Toyotas anyway) is for Engine Braking - which is supposed to reduce/eliminate coasting. I think the theory is to replicate what a downward gear change with little or no braking would achieve on a manual (or clutched auto) car so increased revs would seem "normal"... I guess it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the car actually engages B itself while (apparently) in D if it detects no acceleration on a sharp decline or some such?

Yea is does rat engage engine braking itself .... why the option for b is ther not sure ....it cud be for ya to prempt the car doin it if yu had 4 fatties in the car or more likely give ya the manual  option  going down an icey  or snowy  hill ide imagine

I think B mode is to stop the brakes heating up too much going down a long hill.Not the likes of Howth hill but some countries that have a few miles of downhill mountain driving like in the US.

I think I read it in a manual a long time ago.
