I am glad this question was asked. I only learned about this capability of my car (nothing in the '08 manual) at this year's Dragon. Pacemaker - the group leader of our run, suggested that it be used when we were into the drive, and mentioned that one time a participant burnt out his brakes at the Dragon. I didn't know what I was supposed to be using. I was running behind Don (SantaFeCruiser), and noticed that he was not braking when I needed to use mine. And I wondered about that until learning about Autostick. Don explained it to me and told me to try it until I felt comfortable with it. So I did. It was very helpful and easy once I got the hang of it. I mostly drive flat land, so I have not really used it since last Oct.

I can understand how this makes a significant difference in brake wear. I could tell the difference in my brake response both before and after the Dragon. And before and after using the Autostick. Sure am glad I learned about this and can read more about it from others. Thanks!
