I think many people are unfamiliar or scared of engine braking because of the high RPM and loud engine noise...

That is actually fine because it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do

Just go youtube search for engine braking for further explanation

I reckon is because younger people these days only drive auto cars all their life, so never had to select their own gears and know the cause and effect.

Hopefully this thread will be informational to many cheers.gif

What happens when you have regenerative braking? And you have max charge

Regen will be limited and you’ll have to use the brake pedal instead.

what is OD ?

Overdrive.

When your output rpm is lower than your input rpm - ie gear ratio less than 1:1.

Usually means the tallest gear available in the gearbox.

OD off means the car doesn’t select the tallest gear.
For example if 4AT, it just uses the first 3 gears.
