[QUOTE=
'Brake for 10 to 30 seconds'. I can't call this absolutely wrong but I don't practice that. Everything written about the approach is correct however, you need to create space between he pads and the disk to cool them. I've found that pumping for 5sec and releasing for 5 results (or thereabouts) result in better breaking - specifically on long downhill runs. 21k miles and brakes have worn VERY little.
Safe travels.[/QUOTE]
Braking 5 sec on and 5 sec off is not what you want to do in tow/haul mode.
Read the manual how to use tow/haul mode and then practice using it. It is your best friend on downhill grades. The engine will hold you back and prevent over heating of the brakes.
