What Does Cold Start Mean for a Car?
1 Answers
Cold start of a car refers to starting the engine when it has been shut down for a period of time, and its internal temperature has reached equilibrium with the ambient temperature. In contrast, there is also engine hot start, which means starting the engine shortly after it has been shut down, while it still retains significant residual heat. Cold starts are more challenging than hot starts, especially in low ambient temperatures and when using diesel fuel. The steps to start a car are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the second position (power mode), wait for the system to complete self-check; 2. Shift the gear lever from P (Park) to N (Neutral); 3. Release the brake and start the engine; 4. Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever from N to D (Drive), release the brake, and press the accelerator to begin driving.
