Is It Necessary To Warm Up Your Car Before Driving Off? by carsnazi(f): 10:07am On Dec 21, 2018 |
Is warming up your car essential or an insignificant practice? To answer this question, let’s start with older car models that have carburetors. Owners of these cars definitely need to do the warm-up for a while before driving off. The reason is that these cars have a manual choke cable that needs to be pulled prior to starting for the subsequent smooth running. Hope this post is helpful for you.

This one is also useful: How to start the engine without using the cable! Link here: https://naijauto.com/safe-driving/how-to-start-the-engine-with-a-dead-battery-without-using-jumper-cable-697 1. Manual cars Taking advantage of hilly terrain As its name has said it all, this method requires a hilly terrain on which we push our vehicle with the help of others (and of course, push down the hill, not vice versa). When you make sure to have sufficient assistance from others, get behind the wheel, get your vehicle in gear and try to maintain a speed of 5 mph down the hill. While doing this, loosen your brake, release the handbrake at the same time and press the clutch for the vehicle to roll. Next, turn the key in the ignition while still keeping the clutch depressed. In case the car remains inactive, use the clutch to get down to the second gear, then press on the accelerator while the key is turning in the ignition. This method will definitely work, believe me! Using the battery charger This method comes handy for those cars whose battery is dead on a plain terrain. All you need to do is find an AC plug to replenish your battery for some hours by attaching the charger to it (yes, you heard it, some hours, so if time is not for you, this is not advisable). Using solar charger You can also make use of the solar energy to start your engine by lay your solar panel on the car's dashboard. Next, plug the panel into the car's lighter point. Doing this, you’re charging the dead battery, so you can start your engine again. 2. Automatic car To start an automatic car, the only one feasible practice that is pretty similar to the manual one is, taking advantage of the inclined terrain. And, all you need to do is also to copy steps you should do in a manual vehicle. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

obekediamondfuto: It depends on your car model years & how modern it is. If the engine goes smooth without warming up, then u don't need to I think. But for old models, esp for manual, warming up is good for a smooth ride. 1 Like |

Warming up the engine in a modern day car isn't mandatory. However on a very cold night , it doesn't hurt to allow the engine reach operating temperature before driving. All in all, warming or no warming it doesn't remove anything from the engine. 27 Likes |

It’s like waking of from sleep, and you are asked to get to do a hard day’s job. You will breakdown! You need to put on your car for atleast 5-10 mins for the oil to circulate properly for easy transmission. 57 Likes 7 Shares |

Warming up your car improves combustion, fuel economy and performance. The engine's cooling system uses a thermostat to maintain its most efficient temperature range. Auto experts today say that you should warm up the car no more than 30 seconds before you start driving in winter. "The engine will warm up faster being driven," 9 Likes 4 Shares |
