Mercedes-Benz smart can only accommodate two people. In terms of body dimensions: The width of the smart fortwo is increased by about 100mm compared to the current model, thereby enhancing the lateral space inside the car and also helping to improve the driving stability of the vehicle. Parameter configuration: The smart fortwo is positioned as a microcar, equipped with two power systems: 0.9T and 1.0L. All models use a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The length, width, and height of the car are 2695mm, 1663mm, and 1555mm respectively. The 0.9T turbocharged model has slightly better acceleration and top speed compared to the naturally aspirated 1.0L model. Although the car looks small, it is 'small but complete.' The biggest highlight of this car is its convertible design, though not all models are equipped with it.

I've driven the old two-door Smart, and it truly only fits two people, with just the driver and front passenger seats available. However, the new Smart brings a pleasant surprise—the four-door version now has a backseat that can accommodate two adults, although they might need to tuck their legs a bit. It’s perfectly fine for short trips with friends. Recently, I’ve noticed several four-seat versions in my neighborhood, which are especially convenient for parents picking up and dropping off kids—the backseat is even spacious enough for a child safety seat. Don’t let its size fool you; the trunk can fit a 24-inch suitcase vertically, making it fully capable for weekend grocery runs.

As a mom who often takes kids around, I've researched the space in the Smart four-seater version. After adjusting the driver's seat, there's still a fist's distance between the knees of passengers under 1.7 meters tall and the front seat, but the head may touch the roof. In practice, it's most comfortable with two elementary school kids in the back, with just enough space for backpacks and snacks. Special praise goes to its child safety seat interfaces, which include both ISO and LATCH buckles, making seat installation worry-free. Parking this car is a breeze—it can fit into a 2-meter parking space with ease.

Last week, I test drove the latest Smart #1 and was surprised to find the rear seat can temporarily accommodate three people. The salesperson mentioned the body width has increased by 15 cm, with an almost completely flat floor in the middle. In practice, three women could squeeze in the back for a 5 km ride without complaints, but men might find their shoulders rubbing. It's recommended to use it as a four-seater normally, reserving the fifth seat for emergencies. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo space is twice as large as the previous model, easily accommodating a folded bicycle.

Can You Still Drive If the Car Battery Is Smoking?

You cannot continue driving if the car battery is smoking. Continuing to drive may cause the wiring to burn out, and the battery fluid may evaporate, leading to the battery becoming unusable. Possible reasons for the battery smoking include: 1. Damaged separator plate. 2. Aging circuits or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. 3. A faulty charger causing excessively high charging current and voltage. 4. Poor-quality or damaged separator plates, allowing active material from the electrodes to pass through. If the separator plate is of poor quality, impurities may form when ions cross it, causing a short circuit between the plates. 5. A large short-circuit current can scorch the separator plate, worsening the short circuit between the plates and further increasing the short-circuit current, creating a vicious cycle. Eventually, smoke may be emitted from the battery's vent.

What to Do When There Is Water Under the Driver's Side Floor Mat?

How to handle water under the driver's side floor mat in a car: 1. The water under the driver's side floor mat is most likely condensation from the air conditioning. 2. When the car's air conditioning is in cooling mode, it generates a significant amount of water, which is typically drained outside the vehicle through a drainage hose connected near the condenser. If this hose was not properly connected to the undercarriage during manufacturing, the water may accumulate inside the car. 3. If the issue is minor, you can locate and reconnect the hose yourself. However, if water has entered the exhaust pipe, do not start the engine. Instead, arrange for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a 4S service center for professional repair. 4. If the water accumulation is due to clogged drainage holes or channels, preventing rainwater from draining properly, promptly clean the drainage outlets, remove the water under the floor mat, dry the carpet surface, and replace the mats with waterproof full-coverage floor mats.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate After a Vehicle Inspection?

There are various states of the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt off the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay lead to signal issues, causing system failure. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advised not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

What is Brake Pedal Free Travel?

Pedal from the stop position to the step to the end of the distance. The following is part of the introduction about the brake pedal free travel: Function: The pedal free travel is a function set to ensure that there is no brake drag and the brake is completely released. Measurement: When measuring, place a straightedge between the brake pedal and the cab floor, press the brake pedal down by hand until there is resistance, and record the straightedge reading. Then release the pedal and look at the straightedge reading again. The difference between the two readings is the pedal free travel. The free travel of the hydraulic brake pedal is generally 15-20mm, and it should be adjusted according to the value specified by the vehicle model.

What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise During Low-Speed Braking?

Reasons for abnormal noise during low-speed braking include excessive wear of brake pads, improper contact surface, water exposure, and wear. Specific explanations are as follows: Excessive wear of brake pads: Leads to the exposure of friction material fixing points, causing friction with the brake disc or brake drum and resulting in abnormal noise. Solution: Replace the brake pads. Improper contact surface: After replacing the brake pads, if the contact surface with the brake disc or drum does not fit properly, it can form point or line contact, leading to abnormal noise. Solution: Perform a break-in for the vehicle. Water exposure: Brakes may produce abnormal noise after the car has been exposed to water. Solution: Handle according to the water drainage situation, remove accumulated water, and replace the corresponding parts. Wear: Excessive wear of the brake disc or brake drum. Solution: Replace the brake disc or brake drum.
