What Does Remote Engine Start Mean?
1 Answers
Remote engine start, also known as engine remote start, refers to the ability to start a vehicle's engine remotely using the car's key fob. The working principle is that the vehicle receives signals from the remote key to start the engine or motor. Here are some precautions for using remote engine start: The preheating time should not exceed the manufacturer's limit of ten minutes, and the number of starts should not exceed two. This is because the engine warms up much more slowly when idling than when driving normally, and the three-way catalytic converter takes longer to reach its optimal working temperature of 350 degrees Celsius. During this time, the unburned exhaust gases can place a significant burden on the catalytic converter, potentially damaging it over time. However, if used correctly within the manufacturer's programmed limits, there should be no issues.
