To subjectively evaluate engine starting behavior and driveability characteristics of a motor vehicle which has been soaked at ambient temperature for a given time period after attaining a stabilized engine coolant temperature. This SAE Recommended Practice also defines driveability defects and the rating system.

This procedure incorporates a modified driving cycle replicate of consumer operation as contained and shown in SAE J1082b (January, 1979) and which is run on a suitable road or test track. The procedure yields cold start and warm-up fuel economy values indicative of consumer level at the ambient condition of the test. Within referenced limitations, the procedure can be utilized to determine the fuel economy differential among vehicles or between vehicle changes.

This procedure is a modification of the urban driving cycles noted in SAE J1082 and which is run on a suitable road or test track. The procedure yields cold start/warm-up fuel economy values indicative of consumer level at the ambient condition of the test. Within referenced limitations, the procedure can be utilized to determine the fuel economy differential among vehicles or between vehicle changes.
