Yes, I also use the Sports gear when coming down the steeper slope. If you need to slow down, brake but do not keep your foot on the brake pedal for extended distance to prevent overheat.

From my understanding, the 'L' gear and SPORTS mode works by keeping the the gearbox at low gear. But the 'L' gear is primarily is for up and downslope whereby u cannot depress the foot brake for extended time for fear of burning the brake pads. SPORTS mode has the same effect as 'L' but i will only use it for non-slope normal driving, when you need that sudden power for overtaking etc.

Of course NOT all the way, I switch to Sports only to tackle slopes.
The route from KL to Genting consists of the following:
(A) Karak Highway (links KL to Kuantan) ... it is a hilly highway but you can tackle it with normal D drive. Look out for the Genting Highland sign to exit ... if you miss it, don't fret, there is another entrance after the tunnel.
(B) Security booth 1 - Security booth 2: You will need to use Sports or L for the steeper slopes. You will go uphill for about 10-15mins before going downhill and then there is a flat part where you can pick up speed but be cautious of the windy part (accident area) as you come closer to Gohtong Jaya just before the circle leading to booth 2.
(C) Security booth 2 - Genting Highlands: This part is uphill all the way. It is two-way until when it is closer to the QingSui Temple and the up-route become one-way.
I know some drivers use D all the way up but I prefer to take the steeper slopes quickly. You probably don't want any motion-sickness prone passengers to throw out in your ride.
Have a safe trip. Stop for adequate rests when you feel tired.
