Of course it doesn't. But common sense also applies to the scenario. Coasting downhill in a 3000 pound vehicle with an electronic transmission is not the same as coasting downhill in an 80,000+ pound rig with a manual gearbox or two.

In other words, it's a non-issue. Hybrid vehicle or not.

Who but truckers has ever been cited for violation of the no downhill coasting law?
