Is a 1700 RPM Startup Speed Normal for the X-Trail?

[Emily]

The 1700 RPM startup speed for the X-Trail is normal. Function of High Idle Speed During Cold Start: During a cold start in the morning, the idle speed typically ranges between 1300 and 2000 RPM, which is normal. The exact idle speed during a cold start varies depending on the ambient temperature. The purpose of the high idle speed during a cold start is to ensure the vehicle starts properly, warms up the engine, and quickly raises the engine coolant temperature. Reasons for High Startup Idle Speed: After 1 to 2 minutes of idling (duration may vary based on weather conditions), the RPM will drop. In summer, the engine typically warms up in about 30 seconds, and the RPM will decrease to around 1000 RPM (at this point, only slow driving is recommended). Once the coolant reaches the normal operating temperature of 86°C (with engine speed at 750 RPM), you can drive at normal speeds. In winter, due to lower temperatures, the warm-up time may be longer (1 to 2 minutes), so there's no need to worry.
