What is the RPM when starting a vehicle?
1 Answers
The RPM for starting a car is not fixed, it mainly depends on road conditions and surface. On flat roads, it's around 1200 to 1500 RPM, while on steep slopes, it requires over 1500 RPM. Smaller displacement engines need higher RPM for starting compared to larger displacement ones. The issue isn't about which RPM saves fuel when starting, but rather what RPM allows the car to start. For automatic transmission vehicles, the starting procedure is: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button (ACC light turns on); 2. Press the start button again for vehicle self-check; 3. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite; 4. Press the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. For manual transmission vehicles, the starting procedure is: 1. Sit in the driver's seat, depress the clutch, turn the key to ACC position for 3-5 seconds, then turn to START position to ignite; 2. Depress the clutch, shift to first gear, and release the handbrake.
