Yes.
Slow the coach with the brakes before putting it in S and then use engine braking to keep you there.
Do not use S to reduce speed, only to maintain it.
IF the coach does start to go faster than you're comfortable with, then apply the brakes to get the speed back under control.
Use the brakes as little as possible but no less.

Curious....do the "S" shift position have engine braking as well, unlike "D" which just seems to freewheel the engine on decel down hill.
Reason i ask is i have a long steep grade that really taxes the brakes and i would prefer to just use the engine to help things.
