I'm quite partial to a spot of button pressing myself whilst going down ,hills. :wink:

Like kirsty says, if it's there you may as well have a play with it.

I often "short shift" using the hold button rather than have the engine revving high under acceleration.
Also use it down long descents to save the brakes.

Sounds like I've not been a bad boy for holding it then - just too convenient and brake saving not to use I reckon 8)

Don't worry about it lizard - even if you accidently knock it at high speed it's intelligent enough not to change down and overrev the engine........... :D
