Is it necessary to remove snow and warm up the car when not driving in snowy weather?
1 Answers
Snowy weather without driving does not require snow removal and car warming. Preheating and snow removal: When you find your car covered with snow after being parked overnight, you should preheat the car first. The main reason for this is to allow the engine oil to lubricate better, thereby bringing the engine into optimal condition. While warming up the car, you can wipe off the loose snow, especially on the windows, rearview mirrors, and headlights. Clear visibility and light sources are crucial for driving safety. Starting and driving: In winter, starting must be slow and gentle, which is beneficial for both the tires and the engine: on one hand, it allows the tires to gradually warm up while still in a relatively hard state; on the other hand, it ensures that the engine carries as little load as possible before reaching normal operating temperature.
