How to start the car correctly in winter

In winter, due to the cold climate, the starting performance of automobile engines will decline. For a relatively new car, perhaps the performance of the car is similar to that in summer. If your car doesn't start well when the temperature is low. Try it in the following ways.

Before starting, turn on the ignition switch, wait for about 5 seconds, and let the oil pump work before starting.

After starting the engine, it is best to turn on the lights, radios and other electrical equipment. Before parking, turn off these power-consuming electrical facilities and then turn off the engine.

Some impatient drivers can't start the car in winter, so they start it continuously, which does great damage to the battery and can't start the car. The correct way is: when the first start does not catch fire, start the second start after an interval of 20 seconds. Don't drive in a hurry after starting. Add a warm-up time. Generally, the water temperature of vehicles reaches 40 degrees, which is the most economical.

Car batteries usually discharge after parking at night and cannot be started the next morning. It is suggested that the driver turn on the air conditioner, radio and other electrical appliances after the car starts the engine to warm up. Turn off the electrical equipment in time before parking, and then turn off the engine.

Also, don't rush to drive at high speed after the car starts, but give the car a warm-up time, so that the car is not easy to wear and tear, and it can also improve fuel economy.

In addition, due to the cold weather in winter, the volatility of gasoline is reduced and it is not easy to ignite. Generally, cars will increase the starting time more or less. It is suggested that some old cars use high-grade (95#) gasoline. High-grade gasoline has low temperature, good volatility and good starting performance. From an economic point of view, it is not necessarily more expensive than low-grade (92#) gasoline. The reason is that the combustion quality of low-grade gasoline is not as good as that of high-grade gasoline at low temperature, and the heat loss is large. You might as well try adding a case of high-grade gasoline.
