Toyota prius b on shifter. Showing b mode in a 2016 toyota prius down a steep hill. It makes sure the car doesnt start to crawl back when going upwards. Using b shift position the prius uses an electronic transmission mode selector similar to a gear shift on a conventional car.
Also b is useful when climbing uphill roads. As mentioned earlier the b is for engine braking similar to downshifting in a normal transmission. B is mostly written in toyota cars.
This is the shifter from a 2016 prius that we reviewed by the way but the component has been on vehicle for a while what does b mean. Some times it says l instead of b. Whenever you feel its going to be either continuous incline or decline shift your car to b position.
Toyota have made special provision for engine braking and to activate this you put the mode selector lever in the b position. The engine then spins faster and the energy it takes to do this holds back the car. The prius however has no gearbox in the usual sense of the term.
