Talking Coasting / Sailing Video

This video shows the sailing function in action. I was driving at ~30mph in Eco-Pro mode, as I back off the throttle you'll see that the engine rpm drops to idle as the gearbox shifts automatically to neutral. The car continues to sail along at ~30 mph. Increasing the throttle causes the gearbox to re-select the appropriate gear again. Works really well, particularly on slight downhill gradients (obviously )
