Current car's owner's manual says to release the accelerator when approaching red lights to "take advantage of engine braking" and since it's a hybrid, it also does regen. There's also quite a few different ways to make an automatic gearbox, such as double-clutch gearboxes.
- vladvasiliu 2y agoThat's what my car's manual said, too. But the "lower gear" in Drive mode was electronic. It didn't have a dedicated "low" or "2" or whatever position. On my dad's Toyota it's even worse, the "gearshift" is fully electronic.
