B is for engine braking to help slow the car down going down hill -- just like down-shifting into a lower gear. The CT has CVT so there are no lower gears to down shift to. So B is it. It does work.

Seacliff,

I have shifted into B at various speeds. We can still accelerate in B if necessary. It does engine-brake the car down quite a bit. At one down hill stretch near my work, I would reach the bottom of the hill at 65MPH in D; and 40 MPH in B coasting. The cops pretty much camp at the bottom of the hill with radar gun a few times a week as the speed limit changes from 50 MPH to 35MPH
