Does coasting in neutral damage an automatic transmission car?

[AdalynnAnn]

Coasting in neutral can damage an automatic transmission car. The reasons why automatic transmission cars should not coast in neutral are: 1. When coasting in neutral, the engine runs at idle speed, which can harm the transmission; 2. The braking time and distance of the vehicle increase, making it unsafe. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake and start the engine; 4. Warm up the car while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Gradually release the foot brake and smoothly press the accelerator to start moving. The gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. D gear is the drive gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. P gear is the parking gear; 4. L gear is the low gear; 5. N gear is the neutral gear; 6. W gear is the snow/rain gear; 7. S gear is the sport mode driving gear.
