In China, the Mercedes-Benz smart can go on the highway. However, vehicles with a maximum speed below 70 km/h are not allowed on highways. Here is some information about the Mercedes-Benz smart: The smart is a microcar jointly manufactured by German Mercedes-Benz and Swiss watch company SWATCH, currently under the Daimler Group. The 'S' stands for Swatch, 'M' represents the Daimler Group, and 'art' is the English word for art, symbolizing the perfect artistic combination of Swatch and Mercedes. The name 'smart' itself in English also means clever and agile, which aligns with the design philosophy of the smart company.

Does a Depleted Battery Need to Be Replaced?

When a car battery is depleted, the first step is to charge it immediately. If it still doesn't function properly after charging, the battery needs to be replaced. A standard lead-acid battery can typically be reused after charging, but if a maintenance-free lead-acid battery is severely depleted, it should be discarded directly and not recharged. Methods for Handling a Depleted Car Battery: Once a car battery is depleted, it should be charged immediately using a battery charger. If a regular charger fails to charge it, a repair device with high-resistance repair can be used to raise the voltage above 10V for successful charging. If the battery voltage drops below 9V and cannot be restored through charging or repair, the battery must be replaced. If the charger can still charge the battery, replacement isn't necessary. If charging seems ineffective or the starter struggles, and the headlights noticeably dim, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours. If this doesn't work and the vehicle's mileage exceeds 50,000 km with no alternator issues, consider replacing the battery. Car Battery Maintenance Tips: Electrical Usage in the Car: To maintain the battery, avoid activities like listening to the radio loudly, charging phones, or using air pumps while the engine is off. Prolonged use can deplete the battery, and frequent depletion significantly shortens its lifespan. Highway Driving: Regular long-distance highway driving offers multiple benefits, including clearing engine carbon deposits and fully charging the battery. Typically, driving on the highway for over an hour ensures the battery is fully charged and maintains optimal performance.

Which Vehicle Models Qualify for the Six-Year Exemption from Inspection?

The so-called exemption from inspection merely means exemption from on-site inspection. Vehicle owners are still required to undergo a regular inspection every two years. After providing the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, tax payment certificate, or exemption certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, and after handling traffic violations and accidents, they can directly apply for the inspection compliance label from the traffic management department of the public security authority without undergoing safety and technical inspection at an inspection institution. However, if a traffic accident resulting in casualties occurs during the exemption period, the vehicle must revert to the original regulations and participate in the inspection. The inspection period is legally mandated, and the inspection period for private cars remains unchanged. Only non-commercial vehicles and other small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 seats or more) within the first 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection. Therefore, vehicle owners still need to apply for the inspection compliance label every two years. Exemption from Inspection According to regulations, vehicles that fall under the exemption category can be exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. However, they are required to bring the vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office every two years to apply for the inspection compliance label.

How to Replace the Coolant in a Geely King Kong?

The method for replacing the coolant in a Geely King Kong is as follows: When refilling new coolant in a Geely King Kong, you can directly pour 4L of coolant into the reservoir. Stop filling once the liquid level reaches the upper limit marked as "MAX." Then, loosen the drain screw near the upper hose and continue adding coolant. Once coolant starts flowing out from the drain screw, tighten the screw. At this point, the coolant refill is mostly complete. Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipelines. Pay special attention to the five-way water pipe, which gets its name from the five connections it has to various parts of the car. Coolant flows through this pipe and is distributed to different parts of the vehicle to function. If there are any signs of coolant leakage in this section, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may appear slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until the drained water runs clear. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop slightly. Top up the coolant until it reaches the maximum mark "MAXT" on the reservoir.
