pag meron clutch in front of the CVT, probably no need to neutral for the same reason as DCT

experts are welcome to correct me

DCTs and CVTs need not shift to Neutral at long traffic stops. However, that does not stop people from doing it out of habit. On my end, I don't want to step that long on the brake pedal and also, accidentally letting go of the brake pedal at a stop with Drive engaged might cause you to bump the car in front.

Well, in other countries... Kung traffic light lang, I keep it at "D"

Pero Philippine traffic kung saan minsan 10 mins na di pa din gumagalaw... Different story.

My personal rule...
If I will use the handbrake... Linalagay ko muna sa "N"

This is when I really appreciate the brake hold function in the CR-V. During long stops I can rest my legs.

I finally found the right term... hehehe

Do not let the car "idle" on Drive...
So back to my personal rule, if I pull the handbrake, I put the car on "N"

Traffic... depende sa tagal na non-moving yung car...
Wife needs to withdraw sa ATM/quick 7-11 purchase... "N"

Sorry I don't know anything about cars. I read somewhere to not idle in D. Why not P na lang?

P kasi yun parking pawl naka engage
so kung mabangga ka, malaki chance na masira
P kasi pag naka engage, dadaan ka pa ng R bago N, tapos Drive
so pag nagkamali ka, pwede sa R mo mailagay tapos kung may kotse sa likod mo ... bang ..
kaya pag yun sa harap ko umiilaw reverse light ng split second, di ko na binubuntutan

^I agree... Kapag ilaw ng ilaw yung reverse light ng nasa harap ko... Medyo lumalayo ako. Mahirap na.

2nd, older AT cars, di mo na kailangan ipress yung button to shift to N.
