You may be walking out to your frosted-over-vehicle in the mornings before work thinking “I really should have started it before now so that it can warm up.” While it is not highly recommended and there is no solid information about this practice, here are some helpful tips from our service techs at Melloy Dodge.
Most modern engines come equipped with remote start technology which both starts your vehicle and keeps it locked. One of the advantages of remote start is that your vehicle can not be driven unless the remote key is in the vehicle and the ignition is turned on. The most your vehicle needs to warm to a temperature that is safe to drive at is a minimum of 30 seconds. 30 seconds allows oil to be redistributed to working areas of your engine and begins to warm everything else up. This will help eliminate additional wear and tear from cold start-up and driving immediately.
Melloy Dodge understands the need for a vehicle that warms quickly, and most modern engines do! We also stock vehicles that have steering wheel warmers as well as seat warmers so while the engines warm, you can still be warm too! If you are interested in purchasing a vehicle that has a remote start, contact one of our professional sales associates or shop our online inventory today! Come on down to Melloy Dodge "Where we always say, Deal" ™.
* It's important to note that vehicles should not be left running alone.*
