Gliding refers to shutting off the engine with the car moving, which isn't the same thing as engine braking (using the retarding forces of a running engine to slow the car down). Without the engine running there are various pumps that aren't running and fluid movement that isn't taking place anymore, so certain things won't be getting the proper lubrication while the parts are moving. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_(vehicle) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_(vehicle) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking
