Starting a car at 4000 RPM is not harmful. RPM refers to the number of revolutions per minute of the engine crankshaft. The engine RPM affects the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. Precautions for starting a car include: 1. Ensure the gear is in neutral and avoid pressing the accelerator when starting; 2. Turn the key to the 'on' position and wait for the vehicle's self-check before starting the engine; 3. Avoid cranking the starter for more than 30 seconds; 4. If the engine fails to start after three attempts, check the electronic control and fuel systems; 5. Avoid keeping the starter engaged after the engine has started.

Revving the engine to 4000 RPM during startup can cause significant damage to the vehicle. Having driven various models, especially manual transmission cars, I've observed that the clutch disc can wear prematurely due to high-temperature friction, and in severe cases, replacement costs can run into thousands of yuan. When the engine operates at high RPMs in low gears, the piston rings and connecting rods endure extreme stress, while the thinning oil film accelerates metal-to-metal friction. Automatic transmissions may also suffer from jerky impacts, shortening their lifespan. Vehicles are designed to start smoothly between 2000 and 3000 RPM to balance power and fuel efficiency. Frequent starts at 4000 RPM not only consume more fuel and increase emissions but may also lead to engine knocking or carbon buildup in the cylinders, potentially requiring major engine repairs in the long run. It's advisable to maintain a gentle driving style for daily use to enhance vehicle durability.

How to Follow Vehicles When Driving at Night on This Road Section?

When following vehicles at night, use low beam headlights, maintain a safe distance, and pay attention to changes in the signal lights of the vehicle ahead. Here is relevant information: 1. Do not use high beams: When following vehicles at night, use low beam headlights instead of high beams to avoid dazzling the driver of the vehicle ahead, and maintain a slightly longer safe distance than during daytime driving. 2. Overtaking: Overtaking is generally not recommended at night. If overtaking is necessary, carefully observe the road conditions around you. When conditions permit, turn on the left turn signal, accelerate to close the distance, and maintain an 'offset driving' position with the vehicle ahead. When about 20 meters away from the vehicle ahead, switch between high and low beams two or three times to signal overtaking (honking is prohibited in urban areas at night). After the vehicle ahead yields the right of way, overtake from the left side. After overtaking, accelerate to move away, and return to the original lane only after increasing the distance.
