It is sometimes very difficult to start a car in severe frost, especially for owners of foreign cars. The occurrence of a similar situation among the owners of cars manufactured in the Russian car industry often indicates problems with the battery.

a charged battery for testing
Instructions
Step 1
If problems arise in the operation of a Russian-made car in frost, first of all, check the battery charge level. If the starting current is less than two hundred amperes, consider changing the device. You can also check this by using an alternative fully charged battery.
Step 2
In any case, consult with a specialist before replacing this part, because the problem may not only be the battery. Also, in some cases, the restoration of the battery can help, but this must be done under certain conditions with the presence of special equipment. In this case, it is better not to risk it and still seek help from experienced specialists.
Step 3
When starting the car in frost, first turn on the headlights to warm up the battery with low current, then wait about a minute before performing all other actions. This will extend the life of your battery. If the car has been in the cold for a short time, 30 seconds will be enough. In foreign-made cars, it can sometimes take up to 10 minutes to warm up the battery, it all depends on the model and country of assembly.
Step 4
If you have any problems using the car in cold weather, pay attention to the presence of any malfunctions in it, since Russian-made cars are specially designed to work in cold winter conditions.
Step 5
Pay special attention to the battery, and if you do not have the skills to repair a car, contact the service centers in your city for a solution to the problem situation. Also, do not forget about warranty repairs, find out if this situation applies to warranty cases, since such a deviation from the norm clearly indicates the presence of a malfunction in the car.
