Generally, the engine RPM can reach 1200-1500 immediately after startup. In cold weather, the engine RPM may be even higher because a lower RPM could cause the vehicle to stall, and a slightly higher RPM helps warm up the engine faster. However, during a cold start, the RPM should not be too high either, as the lubricating oil cannot reach the upper parts of the engine. To minimize wear, keeping the RPM below 2000 is advisable. Here are some relevant details about car startup RPM: 1. RPM too high: If the RPM is excessively high, it can lead to greater engine wear, reducing its lifespan, and also increase fuel consumption. 2. RPM too low: If the RPM is too low, the fuel may not burn completely in the cylinders, leading to carbon buildup in the engine, which can cause significant damage over time.

What is the load capacity of a sedan?

The load capacity of a sedan ranges from 375 to 500 kilograms, and it cannot be calculated in detail. It must be determined based on the load capacity indicated on the nameplate attached when the car leaves the factory. There are two standards for vehicle load capacity: one is the standard set by traffic and road administration, where a two-axle vehicle should not exceed 20 tons, a front-four-rear-four configuration should not exceed 24 tons, and a front-four-rear-eight configuration should not exceed 34 tons; the other standard, from the perspective of traffic police, is based on the vehicle's registration certificate. A sedan refers to a car designed to transport people and their personal belongings, with seats arranged between two axles, and the number of seats, including the driver, does not exceed nine. Generally, sedans emphasize comfort, prioritize passengers, and are designed with economic considerations in mind, opting for engines with moderate horsepower, small displacement, and low fuel consumption.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in a Mercedes-Benz Smart?

In older Smart models, the air conditioning filter is located in a box to the upper right of the accelerator pedal. In newer Smart models, the air conditioning filter is positioned beneath the passenger-side floor mat. Below are the functions of the car's air conditioning filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the car's interior. 2. The activated carbon and other materials inside can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., providing strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 3. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 4. It maintains clean air inside the car, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy and comfortable riding environment. It effectively blocks dust, pollen, and abrasive particles, ensuring drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 5. The filter removes moisture, preventing the car's windows from fogging up easily, thus improving visibility and driving safety. It supplies fresh air to the cabin, protecting occupants from harmful gases and enhancing driving safety, while also offering strong antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

When there is insufficient safe distance in front of the vehicle ahead, do not forcibly squeeze in or force the overtaken vehicle to yield; 3. Maintain a smooth overtaking path when overtaking; 4. Change to the left lane in advance before overtaking, and delay returning to the right lane after overtaking, keeping the driving trajectory basically parallel to the vehicle ahead; 5. Always pay attention to maintaining the distance between your vehicle and the overtaken vehicle before, during, and after overtaking; 6. During the overtaking process, if an obstacle is found on the left side and the lateral distance is too small, which may cause a squeeze or scrape, quickly decelerate, abort the overtaking, and wait for another opportunity to overtake. However, use the service brake cautiously to prevent sideslip.
