Does the Forte need to warm up?

[VonLilah]

Forte needs to warm up. After starting the car, wait for 2 minutes before driving. When the engine is first started, the coolant temperature will be lower than normal. Only after the coolant temperature returns to normal can you gradually accelerate. Driving at high RPMs with a cold engine in low-temperature conditions can be harmful, as the engine oil has higher viscosity, poorer fluidity, and reduced lubrication capability, leading to more severe wear between mechanical components compared to normal operating conditions. In terms of safety features, the Forte enhances front and rear collision absorption, and comes equipped with 6 airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners, automatic door locks, four-wheel disc brakes, and a combination of ABS with EBD. For powertrain, the Forte offers a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The manual transmission shifts very precisely, while the automatic transmission paired with the 2.0L engine lacks a sense of acceleration at high speeds.
