Yes, you can drive your Lexus RX 400h in "B" gear, which is designed to provide engine braking and help slow the vehicle, particularly on downhill slopes. This mode can enhance control and reduce wear on the brakes by allowing the hybrid system to use regenerative braking more effectively. However, it’s primarily intended for specific driving conditions rather than regular use. Always consult your owner's manual for guidance on when to use "B" gear.
Because the RX400h is a hybrid, it regenerates its batteries when slowing down. While doing that, the engine brake is disabled to maximize the regeneration. While going downhill for a long time, you can enable the engine brake by putting it in the B gear.
It goes by the formula A X B A = Number of wheels B = Number of traction wheels( that are connected to the gear & drive)
Tech b
Gear b would rotate: 100 times the number of teeth in gear a divided by the number of teeth in gear b.
The speed of gear A can be calculated using the gear ratio. Since gear A has 10 teeth and gear B has 40 teeth, the gear ratio is 1:4. If gear B turns at 10 RPM, gear A will turn at 4 times that speed, which is 40 RPM.
Gear (A) has 15 teeth , Gear (B) has 10 teeth. Gear (A) makes 14 revolutions . How many revolutions will Gear (B) make?
Drive B is reserved for use with a(n additional) floppy drive

The ones that conduct electricity
Essentially, it allows you to add torque, thereby making it possible to tow other vehicles or drive up a really steep hill.
