Question 4471
In cars with a gasoline engine, it is recommended, in order to reduce pollutant emissions, to start moving...
- after starting the engine while pressing the accelerator all the way down.
- waiting a few seconds after starting the engine.
- immediately after starting the engine.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: immediately after starting the engine.
With a gasoline engine, start driving right after starting it, once you have checked the dashboard to make sure everything is working properly, unless the manufacturer says otherwise. The engine warms up faster when you drive at a moderate speed than when the car is stationary. Flooring the accelerator when starting only wastes fuel and wears out the engine while it is still cold and poorly lubricated.
