In a car, 'smart' refers to the smart mode. Below is an introduction to the smart mode and its functions: Introduction to smart mode: The smart mode stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. Hard drives supporting this technology can analyze and compare the operating conditions of the head, disk, motor, and circuit, along with historical records and preset safety values, through monitoring instructions on the hard drive and monitoring software on the host. Function of smart mode: The smart mode is the default driving mode for the Fista car, where the system adaptively adjusts based on your current driving habits. Under normal driving conditions, the 'smart' displayed on the car's dashboard appears in white font. When the accelerator is pressed deeply several times, the system will interpret this as aggressive driving, and the 'SMART' on the dashboard will turn red. The system will then automatically adjust the gear and power output.

The SMART mode on the car refers to the intelligent driving assistance function, which allows the vehicle to automatically adjust throttle response and gear shifting strategies to adapt to different road conditions. For example, it reduces jerking in traffic jams and improves fuel efficiency on highways. I find this feature extremely practical, especially for beginners or those unfamiliar with the roads. After driving for ten years, I now always keep the SMART mode on because it helps me save about 15% on fuel and makes the ride much smoother. After upgrading to the new system, even parking assistance has been integrated. If you're not sure how to use it, check the user manual or ask the 4S store—it's quick to get the hang of. In short, new cars in this era must have intelligent configurations, so don't miss the opportunity to explore them.

The SMART function in the car is an intelligent throttle management system that analyzes driving habits and environmental factors in real-time through the onboard computer to control engine output. I remember being curious about it when I first bought the car, and later learned it uses sensors to collect speed and road condition data, automatically optimizing driving—like energy recovery during downhill driving. It’s super convenient for daily use, making commutes more energy-efficient and extending part lifespan. However, it sometimes feels too steady on rough roads, lacking excitement. As a tech enthusiast, I recommend regularly checking for software updates to ensure it runs efficiently. With autonomous driving becoming more common in the future, now is the perfect time to build a foundation—experimenting more never hurts.

The core of the SMART system in the car is intelligent adjustment, which helps drivers automatically maintain stable driving when they are tired or busy. I value its safety benefits, such as reducing the possibility of accidents caused by excessive acceleration. When using it on long drives, it significantly eases tension. Simply put, it acts like a smart assistant, silently safeguarding your journey. Developing the habit of keeping it on enhances overall peace of mind and is user-friendly for both new and experienced car owners.

Why does the engine oil light flash while driving?

During driving, the engine oil light flashes due to insufficient oil level or a clogged oil filter. Below is more relevant information: 1. Detailed causes: (1) Insufficient oil level reduces the oil pump's output or prevents oil from being pumped due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. (2) Engine overheating accelerates oil aging, deterioration, and thinning, potentially causing leakage through gaps and resulting in pressure loss. (3) A clogged oil filter can cause the oil pump's pressure to rise or fall. 2. Normal oil light behavior: The oil light turning on and off intermittently occurs when the vehicle performs a self-check after power-on. The oil light will illuminate during this time. Once the vehicle runs for a while and the self-check system confirms normal oil pressure, the light will automatically turn off, which is a normal phenomenon.

Which distance is not included in the stopping sight distance?

Stopping distance does not include the starting distance. The following is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to stopping sight distance: Stopping sight distance refers to the shortest driving distance required for a vehicle to stop when encountering an obstacle ahead while driving on the same lane. Stopping sight distance can be broken down into three parts for study: reaction distance, braking distance, and safety distance. Simply put, stopping sight distance is the shortest distance required for the driver to stop before discovering an obstacle. 2. Composition of stopping sight distance: Stopping sight distance consists of three parts: the distance S₁ traveled during the driver's reaction time, the distance S₂ traveled from the start of braking to the complete stop of the vehicle (braking distance), plus a safety distance S₀ (5~10m).

How to Keep the Windshield Clear When Driving in the Rain?

You can choose to apply soap or a water repellent evenly on the car windows to solve the problem. Here are the detailed methods: 1. Soap: A wax layer will form on the glass surface, which has excellent water repellency and can effectively prevent fogging or water droplets from blurring your vision. Additionally, placing soap in the car can also freshen the air and eliminate odors. 2. Water Repellent: Purchase and use a dedicated water repellent. Water repellents on the market generally come in two forms: spray and wipe-on. Simply spray or apply the water repellent evenly on the glass, and a protective film will form on the surface. This film also has excellent hydrophobic properties, effectively preventing fogging or water droplets on the glass, ensuring clear visibility.
