Is it possible to coast in neutral with an automatic transmission car?

It is not advisable to coast in neutral with an automatic transmission car, and the reasons are as follows: Automatic transmission models cannot directly shift into N (neutral) gear while driving in D (drive) gear. The vehicle must be stopped and stationary before the gear can be shifted into N. The correct starting procedure for an automatic transmission car is: 1. Press the start button, and the ACC light will illuminate as the vehicle performs a self-check; 2. Turn the ignition key to the second position, and the computer system will begin a self-check; 3. Press the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 4. Release the foot brake and let the car warm up for 1 to 3 minutes while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake again, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and you can start driving. With an automatic transmission, the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions.
