What? Autoranging has absolutely no impact on whether you will damage a digital multimeter or not. If you select too low of a range it will simply display overload but not cause any damage on a meter worth it's salt. Now, if you connected it to something above the specification of the meter or perhaps tried reading a voltage in ammeter mode, that's user error and completely your own fault and wouldn't have been prevented by autoranging.
