To coast means to disengage the car's gearing. On a manual transmission, you depress the clutch pedal to disengage gearing. On an automatic, you'd have to slip the gear lever into neutral. Both are illegal, by the way. Your car should be in gear when you're driving.

Forward momentum by means of inertia, as for the second part I have no idea.
