My first and terrifying experience with hills and engine braking... the 3rd setting I had no idea there would be a pause before the engine brake would engage.. needless to say, I freaked out and relied on stab/feather breaking.  But now I know.. hearing a terrifying whirl before a loud noise made me think I was actually breaking my engine lol
