Automatic transmission cars do have idle speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine, representing a working state when the car engine is running without load. Idle speed refers to the engine running without any load, only overcoming the internal friction resistance of its components without delivering power output. In other words, when the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is released, it enters idle speed state. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size and idle fuel supply quantity. As long as the engine doesn't vibrate within the idle speed range and maintains good acceleration performance, the setting is appropriate. It's important to note that when adjusting idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate excessively, as this could cause wear to the engine.

Will shifting from D to N gear accidentally while driving have any impact?

Shifting from D to N gear accidentally while driving will not cause damage to the engine and transmission as long as it is not done at high engine RPM. However, it is still advisable to avoid such situations during driving to ensure safety. When the car is coasting at high speed in N gear, the wheels can drive the transmission shaft in reverse, causing the transmission gears to rotate at high speed. Without the pressure lubrication provided by the oil pump, the gear sets may experience wear. The gears of an automatic transmission are divided into P, R, N, and D, with some cars also having an S gear. P stands for Parking gear, used when the car is parked; R stands for Reverse gear, used when the car is reversing; N stands for Neutral gear, used when the car is stationary; D stands for Drive gear, which allows the car to shift automatically based on the driver's throttle input; S gear is mainly used for overtaking on curves and climbing slopes, providing stronger power to make these maneuvers easier.
