The answer to the main “cold” question “whether to warm up the car in cold weather” has long been known: yes, the car needs to be warmed up before driving. But what should be done while the engine is warming up to operating temperature, few know. Well, we’d love to tell you.
With a sharp drop in temperature in the battery, chemical processes slow down, as a result of which the battery can enter the so-called sleep mode. In other words, the electrical properties of the battery can decrease by almost half.
Therefore, before starting the engine, we strongly recommend that you force switch on the power consumers. And the easiest thing is to turn on the side lights, which will resume the working electrochemical processes of the battery. That is, they will give the disc a good boost of power. And only after you turn on the dimensions, you can start the engine. It’s not for nothing that our fathers and grandfathers did this in the absence of boosters and launchers.
If your car is equipped with a manual transmission, it is helpful to depress the clutch pedal to the stop before starting the engine. Such a maneuver allows you to start the engine without disturbing the transmission shafts, and this removes the extra load both from the box itself and from the starter. Since less electricity is used in this case, it is much easier for the battery to work by scrolling the starter. In other words, you increase the resource of its work and at the same time insure against the rapid discharge of the battery.
In the case of an “automatic”, we recommend that you warm up the components and the oily fluid, carefully reversing the driving modes while pressing the brake pedal. That is, while it stays in place. A few seconds for each – from D to R – is enough.
A moving car in the cold should definitely be given some time to “rattle” at idle. In more detail, wait at least until the engine drops back to top speed. And only then can you get moving, while not having to refuel and at low speeds. You cannot enter Schumacher mode until the engine has warmed up to operating temperature. It usually varies fromt 75 to 105 degrees.
