Only if deadbanding disengaged the output shaft would they have the same effect IMO. If there was the drastic change in gliding by deadbanding as there is in "N" coasting, I would have recommended it long ago. Disegageing the FEH in "N" means there is no power flow through the transmission and there is a physical disconnect of the output shaft. Not seeing an energy flow on the Nav Sys does not mean a disconnect has been made. In fact, there are many signs that energy is flowing through regen and energy flowing to electrical systems from the HV battery without drive arrows. A lost of drive arrows can occur in all shift positions and a drive arrow to the battery can occur with the shift selector in "N" where the output shaft is disengaged, RIGHT?
