Holden Astra 2007: Does the automatic transmission shift into neutral when stopped?
Answered by CarsGuide
16 Mar 2007
MOST cars now have electronic throttles, replacing the cable connection that existed in the past. It's linked to the electronics, which tell the engine what you, the driver, want to do. It's a more efficient system. The Astra auto will drop into neutral when you're at rest with your foot on the brake; it does that to save fuel. When you hit the accelerator it automatically engages Drive and you move off.
