Hi,
I recently purchased a Nissan Sunny in Singapore. It is a 1.6L Auto transmission model. I am new to driving automatic cars and have a fairly basic question. While waiting at traffic lights is it advisable to keep the car in 'drive' mode or should I change to 'neutral' gear ?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Jeevan,
Just leave it in 'D'. With a normal idle and normal lengths of time sitting still (say, up to 10 minutes), no harm. If the engine is idling way too fast or if a very long time sitting still, maybe it could overheat the transmission fluid.
