Of course, automatics can be more reliable than manuals.&nbsp;It is easier to drive in stop-and-go traffic as it does not require much driver input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few things that drivers have to keep in mind while driving an automatic. There are some trivial habits that drivers always do that could damage the car without realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are these habits?

It is widely believed that switching the car to neutral mode while driving will save fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, going downhill or in any other circumstances in neutral mode can be potentially dangerous. It will reduce the control you have over the car. In an emergency, you may not be able to move it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"setting-your-vehicle-in-neutral-mode-at-a-stoplight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_your_vehicle_in_neutral_mode_at_a_stoplight\"><\/span>Setting your vehicle in neutral mode at a stoplight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"23505\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/info\/7-habits-to-avoid-when-driving-an-automatic-car\/attachment\/photo1644994895-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"photo1644994895 (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Setting your vehicle in neutral mode at a stoplight can cause the vehicle\u2019s transmission and linkages to wear prematurely\" class=\"wp-image-23505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo1644994895-2.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shifting the gear to neutral mode is something that many people often do to save fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may not be as damaging;
