What does SM mean on a car?
1 Answers
SM on a car refers to: S stands for Sport Mode, which provides faster acceleration from a standstill; M stands for Manual Mode. The functions of Sport Mode are: 1. Keeps the vehicle with sufficient torque to enhance power performance; 2. The suspension becomes stiffer, support force increases, throttle sensitivity improves, and engine intake increases; 3. High engine RPM also helps to remove carbon deposits from the engine. Manual Mode is generally used in situations such as going up or down slopes, overtaking, starting on icy or snowy roads, or in traffic jams. For example, when a car is going down a long slope, if it is in D (Drive) gear, the car's speed will increase due to inertia, and the driver needs to constantly use the brakes to control the speed.
