No. smart is a microcar jointly manufactured by German Mercedes-Benz and Swiss SWATCH watch company, currently under the Daimler Group. Here is more information about smart: 1. Powertrain: The smart nightorange limited edition is equipped with a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine and a turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 70 horsepower and 84 horsepower respectively, and peak torques of 92N·m and 120N·m. All models are paired with a 5-speed AMT transmission. 2. Exterior: The smart nightorange limited edition features a two-tone body color combining orange and black, offering a more visually striking appearance compared to the regular smart models. Additionally, the nightorange limited edition comes with smoked headlights, black mirror covers, and is marked with the 'nightorange' logo.

Last time this topic came up in the car enthusiasts group, many people thought smart still belonged to Mercedes-Benz. Actually, in 2019, Geely bought half of smart's shares, and now the cars have 'Geely Smart' badges on the rear. However, Mercedes kept some of the design team to help out—you can still see the classic Mercedes-style accelerator pedal in the all-new #1. When it comes to lineage, it's more of a hybrid, similar to the relationship between MINI and BMW. If you see the new model on the road, don't call it a Mercedes smart anymore—there's not even a three-pointed star emblem on the steering wheel.

What Causes Abnormal Noises in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission abnormal noise causes: Typically caused by low or deteriorated transmission fluid level, excessive or insufficient gear meshing clearance, or poor gear meshing. When the meshing clearance is too large, the driving gear impacts the driven gear during rotation, producing a knocking sound. When the meshing clearance is too small, the abnormal noise is usually continuous—sometimes uniform, sometimes uneven—and worsens with increasing vehicle speed, potentially overheating the transmission lubricant. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the engine's speed and torque delivered to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed during scenarios like stationary starts, hill climbing, turning, and acceleration, while keeping the engine operating within a more favorable range.

How to Properly Use Hazard Warning Lights?

Methods for correctly using hazard warning lights: 1. When driving on highways with low visibility due to fog, rain, snow, sand, hail, etc., hazard warning lights can be turned on; 2. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on hazard warning lights; 3. When a vehicle breaks down or a traffic accident occurs on the road, hazard warning lights warn surrounding vehicles to detour, which is very important; 4. When temporarily parking on the road, hazard warning lights should be turned on as a signal indicating the vehicle is preparing to slow down or stop in an emergency. Car hazard warning lights, commonly known as car double flashing lights, refer to both turn signals flashing together. There is a red triangular button on the vehicle's dashboard; pressing it turns on the hazard warning lights. For some microcars, the hazard light switch is located on the front part of the steering column near the steering wheel, featuring a small red lever. Lifting this lever turns on the hazard warning lights.

How to Reset the Service Light on Citroen C-Quatre?

Method to reset the service light on Citroen C-Quatre: Turn off the ignition switch, then press and hold the service mileage reset button. After turning on the ignition switch, the odometer will start counting down. When the display shows "0" and the service light goes off, it indicates that the service indicator has been successfully reset. The Citroen C-Quatre is a model under Dongfeng Citroen, with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1773mm in width, and 1486mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre features a sleek and full-bodied streamlined design with an excellent drag coefficient of 0.31. The rear lights and the rear of the car outline smooth tail lines, cleverly combining with the side rear windows to form the dynamic Citroen brand double chevron logo.

What are winter tires?

Winter tires are specially formulated with rubber compounds that maintain elasticity in low winter temperatures. During winter, lower temperatures, snow accumulation, and icy road conditions increase the risk of skidding, posing safety hazards. Winter tires are designed for use on snowy, icy roads as well as regular winter roads to ensure driving safety. As one of the most critical components of a vehicle, car tires directly contact the road surface and work in conjunction with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring excellent ride comfort and smooth operation. They also provide strong traction between the wheels and the road, enhancing the vehicle's acceleration, braking, and off-road capabilities. Additionally, tires bear the vehicle's weight, and their vital role in automotive performance is increasingly recognized.

What is Clutch Clearance?

Clutch clearance refers to the gap between the front and rear end faces of the driven disc and the surfaces of the flywheel and pressure plate after the clutch is disengaged. The free travel of the clutch pedal refers to the pedal travel from when the clutch pedal is depressed until the free clearance is eliminated. When the clutch is depressed, under the action of the clutch spring, a gap forms between the flywheel, friction disc, and clutch. As the clutch is slowly released, this gap gradually decreases until complete engagement is achieved. The power of the vehicle is transmitted through the friction between the engine flywheel and the clutch. When the car engine is running, the flywheel rotates with the engine, but since the transmission is in neutral, the vehicle's transmission does not transfer power to the chassis, and the car does not start or move. When the clutch is depressed, a gear is engaged, and the clutch is slowly released, the vehicle will start and move.

When to Use Low-Range Four-Wheel Drive?

Low-range four-wheel drive is used when the vehicle requires high torque output. Situations that demand high torque include intense off-roading, extreme hill climbing, and vehicle recovery. Additionally, it should be engaged when the terrain is particularly rough with significant differences in wheel traction (e.g., when not all four wheels are in contact with the ground). The key feature of low-range four-wheel drive is the use of a small gear driving a larger gear, which allows the engine to deliver greater torque output. The torque multiplication ratio varies by vehicle model, typically ranging from 2.4 to 2.5 times. Avoid using low-range mode in snowy conditions or muddy terrain, as the high torque can easily cause the vehicle to become stuck.
