An informative video from MadMatt 4WD. A HUGE difference in brake temperatures by changing the way you do a hill descent in an automatic. Over 200C (392F) degrees cooler descending the correct way!

Mad Matt takes about saving brake pads and rotors but it also means you do not cook your brake fluid.

For me a timely reminder as I always did this in the manual Nissan Patrol, I need to remind myself to do it in the auto Grenadier - now that I own a van. The only twining I have done so far, was a flat terrain.
