Maintenance/Repairs

I have a brand new Saturn Aura. An article in our local newspaper was discussing a feature of the Saturn Aura called neutral idle. The article states, that 2 seconds after braking to a stop, with your foot still on the brake pedal, the transmission “goes into neutral”. I tested this feature on my Aura, by manually shifting the transmission into neutral by moving the shift lever into the neutral position. As soon as I did that, I felt the characteristic slight jerk one feels when shifting an automatic transmission into neutral from drive. I suspect that would mean that the transmission was NOT already in neutral as it is supposed to be, if neutral idle is working. Comments please.
