Welcome to EM! Me likey your car. Did you know it's also a Fiat Sedici designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign studio? :
In terms of protecting your auto-tranny, do you know if your SX4 can be "flat-towed"? If it can, then there is the *possibility* but not the fact that you can coast in neutral.
