How long does it take to start a car that hasn't been used for a long time?

[StAaliyah]

If a vehicle is not driven frequently, it requires a longer warm-up period before driving, approximately around 10 minutes. It is recommended that for vehicles parked for extended periods, they should be started once a week or driven once to recharge the battery, ensure even tire pressure distribution, and allow the engine oil to properly coat the internal components of the engine. This is crucial for vehicle maintenance. Here is additional information: 1. If a vehicle remains unused for a long time, the battery will enter a self-protection mode and continuously discharge. Typically, the battery will fully discharge within about three months. Moreover, when the battery discharges to around half capacity, the vehicle may fail to start normally. Therefore, if the vehicle is not in use, it should not remain parked for more than two months. 2. Prolonged inactivity can also cause engine oil to drain back. Reduced oil levels increase engine wear, leading to significant damage over time. Additionally, prolonged parking on the road can cause tire deformation, with the risk of tires sinking over time. Before restarting and driving the vehicle after long-term parking, a thorough inspection should be conducted.
