This problem can also occur on machines that are not equipped with autorun. And the thing is that the expert “Behind the wheel” Alexei Revin, speaking about the difficulties associated with short winter trips, pointed out a nuance associated with the exhaust system of the car.

Frozen condensate can build up to such an extent that it obstructs exhaust gas evacuation and stops the engine from starting.
How to avoid it? You can drill holes in the muffler and resonator to drain the condensate. But it is better to include regular trips along the highway in the route.
