What does the display of 'smart' on the car mean?
2 Answers
The 'smart' displayed on the car refers to the 'Smart' mode, which is the default driving mode for the Fista vehicle. The system adaptively adjusts based on current driving habits. Under normal driving conditions, the 'smart' on the car dashboard appears in white font. When the accelerator is pressed deeply several times, the system interprets this as aggressive driving, and the 'SMART' on the dashboard turns red, with the system automatically adjusting gears and power. Below are some driving precautions: Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, always use the turn signals and decelerate. Always check the rearview mirrors before turning. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror, and for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, always check the interior rearview mirror. Avoid fixating on the front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead at a distance of 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the car. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to depress the clutch first. Depress the clutch when the speed reduces to around 20 km/h. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.
The other day, while waiting at a red light in my car, I noticed the 'smart' indicator light up on the dashboard. This is actually the car's intelligent start-stop system in operation. Simply put, it automatically shuts off the engine when stopped and quickly restarts it when moving off, aiming to save fuel and reduce emissions—both eco-friendly and economical. I use it during my daily commute and feel it helps reduce fuel consumption in city driving, though the repeated shutdowns and startups can be annoying in heavy traffic. Maintaining battery health is crucial, otherwise the system might malfunction. Nowadays, many new cars come with this feature as standard, and once you get used to it, it's quite convenient. If you frequently drive on highways, the benefits might not be as noticeable, but once adapted, you won't bother turning it off. Just remember not to rely on it on slopes—safety first.
