TOYOTA HYBRIDS HAVE A BRAKING DEVICE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS DEVICE CAN BE APPLIED AT ANY TIME. WHEN USING THE TRANSMISSION BRAKE THE VEHICLES SPEED IS REDUCED AT A CONSIDERABLE RATE. WHEN BRAKING USING THIS METHOD THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING. I USE THIS METHOD ON A ROUTINE BASIS AND WAS INFORMED OF NO BRAKE LIGHTS BY ANOTHER DRIVER. I USE THIS SYSTEM OF BRAKING WHILE GOING DOWNHILLS IN THE CITY AND DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. *TR
