I am curious to know... When at a light waiting for a few minutes, is
it harmful to put the CVT in to neutral?
Also, if approaching a stop, and if the vehicle is rolling at less
than maybe 5 mph, will it do damage to the CVT to put it in to
neutral?

I own a 2008 Maxima with a CVT and I suspect that I have put it in
neutral under many different situations (although I don't know why I
would have) without doing any harm.
OTOH, why would you want to put it in neutral at a stoplight even if you
were there for several minutes? I have put it in "park" while waiting a
long time at a car wash, but neutral?????

I own a 2010 Murano SL and we put it into neutral all the time at the car
wash since the car wash mechanism moves your car through it automatically.
Now I'm not so sure why you would want to do it at a stop light!

I know nothing about CVTs, but does the CVT have hill-hold like the
automatics have?
I drive a standard shift (5 speed) and I just depress the clutch while
holding the brake pedal down until I get a chance to move..

it doesn't hurt them to put it into neutral when you're stopping
somewhere,so why should it hurt at a light,as long as the car is not
moving?

What purpose is that for?
actually,you can put an automatic into neutral at any time.
I guess it's necessary if "unintended acceleration" occurs(runaway/stuck
throttle).
I once put an auto tranny car into -reverse- when I began sliding on ice
and couldn't brake to a stop before hitting the car in front of me,it was a
pushbutton shift 63 Dodge Polara.It worked,I stopped immediately and even
began going backwards,didn't hit the car in front of me.
I don't think you can do that with modern automatics.

does the CVT have a torque converter or an electric clutch?
Torque converters have "creep",clutches don't.

For hillholding,I use the handbrake that is between the front seats;that is
what it's designed for.
Generally,auto trannies don't need hillholding,they already have enough
creep built in,except for really steep hills.
