[QUOTE="casper, post: 183983, member: 562"] X2 Many 4WD AT's have a sport mode button which alternates as "manual mode" when low range is selected and this locks the torque convertor and allows you to take advantage of engine braking without fear of the "runaway" that is experienced when descending in D[rive] or D for [datway] :lol: so lock the centre diff, select low range, pull it out of D(rive) and into 1st gear + Point the nose downhill and let it walk down... perfect for Vic High Country long descents :D NB: remember cos the AT is not in automode if you brake to a stop you can stall the engine...
