I think it was about coasting in neutral, with the engine off, which really takes power steering/brakes away. Though you should be able to brake
a few times before it stops working.

It seems that the FCD isn't too accurate then. Like in my instructor's car, a Suzuki Swift. That one would never show numbers below 2.0l/100km, no matter what I did - if I tried to coast with the clutch ('soft neutral') or engine brake, it always showed the same 2.0 regardless the speed (=117.6 US mpg), which is impossible.
But my Yaris' FCD clearly shows the difference between coasting and DFCO.
I still owe you an experiment with Teresa, opening the throttle while engine braking with the kill switch off. This is an interesting one.
