Not a good idea to coast with the engine off with a CVT, you could seriously damage the transmission. Coast in neutral with the engine running. The transmission needs hydraulic pressure to work properly, even in neutral. You could be spending big bucks on a repair or replacement transmission, say $5000.

Best to leave the engine running in neutral when coasting. It should start in neutral if you shut it off at a light, but do that only when it has completely stopped and you will probably need your foot on the brakes (not sure about foot on the brakes).
