It's quite cold.

Dad's car comes up with the message "Quite starting" in other words it's too cold for the car to start. Then after a minute or two it starts. I have no idea what it's all about. It's -6 right now.

Is it "quite" or "quit"?

@Quimliqer No. It does start but it waits the engine I think.

@LilirWyddfa Interesting!!

@Quimliqer It's just a few seconds. It just says engine start pending.

@LilirWyddfa The on-board computers today are amazing!!

@Quimliqer But it is worrying when nothing happens until it says start pending.

At least it is to me who is learning to drive!

@LilirWyddfa We are in the habit of being in control; when we push the button something better happen, now!!

@LilirWyddfa Be patient..
Does his car have a block heater?

@Quimliqer I have no idea. You push the start button and nothing happens. And then it starts pending and you wait. It's like minus 11 right now!
