On coasting, do the Glide procedure first before shifting to N. If you just go straight into N, the ICE may not shut down. If you do the gas pedal trick to get no arrows on the display, then you're gliding. ONce you're gliding, you can either hold that pedal position or shift to N.

I lost several MPG in a competition by missing that on a couple glides.
