Regardless of the type of vehicle, coasting in neutral will not damage the car, but it may pose safety hazards. It's best to operate the vehicle according to the instructions in the owner's manual and never disregard its warnings. Here's additional information: The dangers of neutral coasting: It's not beneficial for the vehicle or transmission. There seems to be only one situation where shifting to neutral is acceptable - when approaching a red light that just turned on, and the vehicle has slowed down significantly. In this case, you can shift to neutral and coast until coming to a complete stop. Never shift to neutral during high-speed driving. After shifting to neutral and then back to D gear, the mismatch between engine speed and transmission speed can cause significant damage to the transmission.

What is the function of parking lights?

The function of parking lights is: 1. During daytime parking, they serve as a safety warning to the surrounding environment, including vehicles and pedestrians, when temporarily stopping and turning off the engine, acting as an alert to indicate the vehicle's position; 2. In dark environments, when temporarily parked, they prevent passing pedestrians, bicycles, and other traffic entities from colliding with the vehicle. Turning on the parking lights provides effective safety alerts and contour marking. When encountering an emergency on the road, if the owner needs to temporarily park or park on the roadside for an extended period, the activated parking lights serve as an indication that the vehicle is stationary. When the parking lights are on, the headlights will illuminate with a weaker intensity, and the taillights will also light up simultaneously.
