In sub zero temperatures (-10°C or 0°F) your vehicle's engine may refuse to start. With a push button start, don't push the brake pedal. Push the button to start the engine. The vehicle will do it's diagnostics and adjust the fuel-to-air intake. After 20 to 30 seconds, put your foot on the brake pedal and push the start button again to start the engine. Leave the engine running just long enough to clean off the snow and ice. Drive the car gently until the engine temperature is within the operating range. If you're idling the engine for long periods of time, you're only warming the engine, not the drive rain components.

Thank you! Videos like yours Helps others that are unaware (like me). Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. It will be really helpful if you could make detailed video/videos on winter-car-care, winter accessories to buy, things to consider while buying cars and winter driving for newcomers who have absolutely zero experience of Canadian winters...Cheers!

No problem! Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hey Rick, did you get yourself a audi??? Lol. :) :) :) Another good advice is, when your traveling in snowy cold weather, always refill your gas tank up when it gets halfway down. That way if you come into a traffic jam you can stay warmer longer. Perfect example is what happen in Virginia a couple weeks ago on I-95, when people were stuck on the freeway for 20 something hours. Good video as always, sir.
Sorry - missed this comment, but it's excellent advice my friend. Yes, always fill the tank in the winter when it reaches 1/2 tank. All the very best, Chers Rick
Hi Rick, is this also true for hybrids? I have a 2007 prius that doesn't want to start sometimes. Its only happened a few times.
thank you my man
Happy to help. Drop us a note if you have further questions. Cheers Rick
Great video I really enjoyed it
Awesome thank you! No doubt, it was a cool topic! 🤓 All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest thank you and you’re welcome
Also plug your block heater in, if you have one!
You are oh so right my friend. Although lots of cars don’t have block heaters. All the best, Cheers Rick
hey Rick, i asked this in one of your last video. i live in Alberta I had a question about on taking your driving test. My friend told me how he was failed on his driving test. When you make a right or left turn, Mirror signal shoulder check make the turn, then his was supposed to go to the side or the shoulder of the road mirror signal shoulder, back into the Centre of that. If there was a parked car on the side of the road the instructor said not to do that. If you get what I am saying. And this forever turn he made.
Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking me. What is manoeuvre that they are getting you to do. Maybe this vid will help: th-cam.com/video/wPUPciPP46c/w-d-xo.html All the best, Cheers Rick
Perfect day for this video. We're at -14 so far. Flash freeze.
And where are you in the world that it’s that cold my friend? Cheers Rick
PS - is that C or F?
Nice Audi Rick!
It’s a very nice Audi! Lowered suspension, modified exhaust with a V6 supercharger. Quality sports car indeed. All the best, Cheers Rick
Should the same procedures apply to hybrid vehicles?
Yes, you’re starting the gas engine my friend. Cheers
When did you get a new car. I remember you had a Honda cr-v or some type of SUV before and now you have a sedan. Why the change. Wouldn’t a 4 wheel drive vehicle be better than a 2 wheel drive.
Hi, Rick! My 2018 Mustang Ecoboost always takes a long time for the temperature to go up and oil pressure to go down. It usually takes like 10 minutes even if it’s over 0 Celsius. Is this normal for this model?
Is that idling or driving it? And it’s a gas engine….correct? Cheers Rick
Yes because you have a small engine. Small engines take longer to warm up. Also if you have your heat on it will take longer for the engine to warm up. So if u want it to warm up as quick as possible, keep the heat and fan off and let the engine warm up
No its not okay. Not even big diesel engines take this much time (while driving, while idling even your 10 minutes is okay)
If your engine takes 10 mins to heat up while driving check your thermostat as it might be stuck on the open position
Hi Rick, I have a 2020 jeep Wrangler push start that won't crank do to being in - degrees temperatures. Some are saying I need to buy fuel treatment called heet. Is all my fluids frozen. Some say don't try in start it or I will mess up my engine. I don't know what to do.
When you say crank - are you saying the starter motor won't turn over the engine and it won't start....or the starter motor won't turn at all? Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest The starter motor won't turn at all. All the lights and power come on in the car, but when I press the push start it just clicks. I tried using my battery jump start and it still didn't turn over.
My starter and battery are brand new (less than a year old), and I can't get the truck to start.
Diesel or gas? How old is the truck? Have you tried hold the accelerator to the floor when cranking? Is there gas in the tank? All the best, Cheers Rick
That was funny, you said, “sitting out in the cold, shooting a video, it’s great.” You should be a part time comedian.
I still drive a 1996 Camry, just so reliable all these decades. What do I do then? It doesn't have all the BS electronics in modern cars. I'm from Sydney, Australia.
1996 is still new enough to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio on cold starts, no special action is required. And the adjustment happens in a fraction of a second, there's no need to wait 30 seconds. Besides, isn't Sydney pretty warm all year anyways?
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Muhammad Ilyas - you are most welcome my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hi
What can we help you with my friend? Cheers Rick
probably wise to state that this for automatics only. manual transmissions do warm up (slowly) at idle, so you do want to give it some time for that component to warm up aswell.
what?? you hawe audi a8 or what is this. and you did not buy webasto??? ahahhaahh
