Note
Do not let your vehicle warm up while standing; instead, start driving right away after making sure that you have good visibility through all windows. This will help the engine reach operating temperature faster and keep down emissions.

After starting a cold engine, there may be increased operating noises for a few seconds. This is normal and harmless.
