I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this question! When pulling up to (red) traffic lights in an automatic, and brake to a stop, are you supposed to put the car into neutral? Because as soon as you let go of the brake, even before you press the accelerator, the car starts to move forwards. Therefore if still in 'Drive' with the brake pressed, is the car straining?
Or is it clever enough to realise that you are not moving and the brake is pressed, that it automatically puts it into neutral?
