Staying On D During Traffic Jams

[Arjuna]

Hi all

Looking for expert advice. Is it good to keep the gear shift on D and apply brakes on traffic jams and colour lights? On conventional CVT gear boxes they recommend the N position for over 1/2 minute sessions since it helps to extend the drive belt life. However on Hybrids the manual says not to do this since there is a risk of battery drain on N. Despite this the car picks up without paddling, moment the brakes are off. Will this increase any wear and tear?

Keep it in D. If you put the vehicle in neutral the hybrid batteries cannot charge.

The CVT in the RX doesn't have a drive-belt, its not like a traditional CVT.
