The Subaru Impreza is a car that has gained fame in rally racing. First appearing in 1992, it has already been re-styled several times. However, even modern Subaru Imprezas are sometimes defeated in the Russian winter. In this case, it will be useful to know how to start the car in cold weather.
It is necessary
- - a set of new car candles;
- - battery charging kit;
- - cords - cigarette lighters ("crocodiles");
- - new car oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your car for winter in advance. In case of frost, get a new battery, change the car oil. Please note that only oils labeled w5 and w0 will not thicken in extreme cold. And, as you know, the thicker the car oil, the more difficult it is for the engine to crank it.
Step 2
If the preparation is insufficient and the Subaru Impreza still won't start, start looking for the source of the problem with the battery. Warm it up before starting the engine. To do this, turn on the high beam for 15-20 seconds. Some drivers in frosty weather remove the battery in order to carry it to a warm apartment. This measure is effective, especially if there is no warm garage or box nearby.
Step 3
Remember a short rule that has been tried and tested many times in practice. It sounds like the "two-turn rule." Insert the key into the ignition and turn it once so that the lights on the dashboard flash and run. After the on-board system has checked the condition of the car, turn the key and start the engine. If the engine does not grasp, do not turn it for more than 20 seconds. The chances of killing the starter increase dramatically after just 15 seconds. continuous operation of this part of the Subaru Impreza. Not to mention the battery that quickly sits down in frost.
Step 4
Find a driver who agrees to light a cigarette. Prepare the crocodile wires in advance. Ask the driver to park his car so that the distance between the batteries is as close as possible. Connect the positive terminals with the red wires, and the negative ones with the black ones and wait about 10 minutes.
Step 5
When the Subaru Impreza engine is finally working, don't turn it off right away. In cold weather, short trips negatively affect the durability of parts, so do not rush to turn off the ignition. Let the engine run for another 5-10 minutes.
