This is the third generation of Smart soft-top, after 2000's original and the 2006 Mk2. Not forgetting 2002's wacky, screenless Crossblade. Daimler's sold 220,000 open-air Smarts to date.</div>

But this remains the smallest convertible on sale, measuring just 2690mm long - with space for two passengers, and a little bit of luggage. The fabric roof slides along like a sunroof or you can remove the roof beams entirely for a more fully al fresco journey. Smart calls it a Tritop roof and it sits atop the usual Tridion safety call (which features a narrower B-pillar than on the tin-top bodystyle).</div>

The hood comes in three colours, including a denim jeans style, and flips fully open in 12 seconds at the touch of a button on the dash or the key. It should be pleasingly draught-free too; Daimler engineers used a special aero-test dummy called Tanja, fitted with 16 sensors on her necks and arms so they could measure passing airflow. The polyacrylic roof is 20mm thick and features a rubber layer of insulation to keep wind and cold out.</div>

It's that time of year again. August bank holiday weekend, the Brits' last scramble for some sunshine and a weekend away before schools start in early September. And it seems that some of us will suffer more traffic misery than others.</div>

Breakdown specialist Green Flag has produced research revealing the country's busiest motorways, most scenic routes and best and worst times to travel over the long bank holiday. They reckon the best time of day to attempt your journey is 8pm, based on their traffic flow forecasts. The Green Flag don’t-even-bother-leaving-the-office-on-time worst slot is 5pm, so be smart and plan your journey a little later where possible.</div>

Here's the full lowdown on the roads to avoid and seek out. And to make matters worse, Green Flag predicts that a car will break down every eight seconds this bank holiday weekend - that’s a total 30,774 occasions of steaming engines and colourful language roadside. You have been warned.</div>

There might be a chance while everything working fine with your journey, be it your car, the driving style or the weather. But if headlights don’t properly reflect the road, its becomes difficult to get a control over some mishappenings. So, it is always a good practice to take a check of your vehicle on all the aspects including well illuminating headlights which are of great importance in bad weather (winter/ fog/ rain) and in the night drive.</div>

Once occurrence of oxidation starts appearing, it speedily diminishes lens of the headlights since polycarbonate is a rifty and spongy thing. Particles of dust, debris, smoke, scratches and continuous thin plastic coatings damage the covering of headlights.

First two methods work temporarily and the headlamps go hazy very soon even after going through these methods. Within 3 days, the dimness starts appearing and you again get into the same status with your headlights not giving the 100%. So, it is suggested to go with the third method, i.e. Cleaning the headlights using liquid solution.</div>

The Bug spray with DEET of 25% and with 75 % of other ingredients is a good combination of the actual material used to restore the headlamps. It shouldn’t be directly sprayed over the headlamps but rather should be taken on the paper towel first and then this paper towel can be rubbed over the headlamps circularly.</div>

Quickly, a shiny and glowing headlamps come out as they were all new. But this method doesn’t last for a long time and in a few days starts getting same elements from the outer world even faster. Reason being the bug spray melting the plastic and making it sticky to attract more particles though oil fills the pores of the headlight plastic. </div>

A toothpaste in a mixture of baking soda and peroxide works very well for cleaning the headlamp surface and bring it in the original form. Few coats of the toothpaste can be enforced over with hand and then a water wet paper towel can be used to remove it all. More you want your headlamps to shine, more times you should do the same exercise. And finally, once it gets dried, you can put a wax coating to seal the surface from getting destroyed again. This method is a safeguard to your headlamps from getting spoiled for few months, so no more maintenance is required and this is suggested better than the bug spray diction.</div>

First remove the dirt using soap and water or using the Windex (cleaning solution/ lubrication liquid) or a household glass cleaner. Dry it, now put water over the headlight surface and on the sandpaper for an ergonomic hand grip. This sandpaper would next be rubbed over the headlights circularly, up-down and horizontally for 2-3 times. Now it is the time to have a course of the polisher liquid properly in adequate quantity after drying. A sealer protectant (car wax/silicon sealer) is applied after drying it once again that will favour it from gaining yellowish and gets sealed from outer effects. </div>

Surrounding areas near the headlights should be taped off with masking or painter’s tape to protect the car paint and body from a foozle. Rubber areas get a white film over it with liquid and spoils looks which further is not removable.</div>

The sandpaper used for rubbing come in various grits from 400 to 2000 grits. Lesser the number, lesser the pressure it requires to put upon the headlights. Greater the number, more efforts you need to put. </div>

Organic particles form thin layers to make OLEDs. On a flat and polished glass or plastic surface, these particles are spread over finely to work when these surfaces move or bend. Thickness of this covering is almost a few thousandth of a millimetre. It starts working as soon as an electric charge is sent through this covering. Photons are emitted by the particles and lightens the surface covered by the material. Multi layering is an advantage of being the OLED brighter than LEDs. In-fact, they absorb less electricity for this and become more energy efficient.</div>

Primarily digital displays are created in devices like TV screens, cell phones, computer monitors and others using OLED. This technique is being applied to a great extent even in cars. Dashboard, rear view mirror are imposed with this at present. But engineers are working to take it all over the car body and not to get limited to just some interiors. It surely will transform the entire presence of the vehicle with dynamic looks and eye catching vibrations of little sequences of lights designed in various manner.</div>

Some of the manufacturers like BMW and Audi have already brought their inventions into light in a bond with Philips, LG Chem, Astron Fiamm and others specially for the rear lights, turn indicators and decorating the external portion. On the other hand, OLED panels on the roof with transparent hybrid solar are opted in Daimler’s Smart Forvision concept</div>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">The new S-Class Cabriolet: A star returns</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Stuttgart, Aug 25, 2015 - Coveted dream car of the 1960s meets star of the 2015 International Motor Show in Frankfurt: the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is following in the tradition of the open-top S-Class (model series 111 and 112) from the period 1961 to 1971. Unmistakeable, exclusive design, fine materials with maximum high-class appeal in the interior and state-of-the-art technology in the S-Class characterise the concept behind both cabriolets.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />"After 44 years we can again offer friends of our company an open variant of the S‑Class. The new S-Class Cabriolet symbolises our passion for individual and timelessly exclusive mobility, which we share with our customers", remarks Ola Källenius, Board Member of Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />With the new S-Class Cabriolet Mercedes-Benz is setting itself the standard of building the most comfortable cabriolet in the world. When it comes to climate comfort the enhanced automatic wind protection system AIRCAP, the AIRSCARF neck-level heating system, the heated armrests, the seat heating also in the rear plus the intelligent fully automatic climate control ensure that this is indeed the case.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The new S-Class Cabriolet is carrying the long and successful tradition of Mercedes-Benz luxury-segment cabriolets into the future. Even back in the 1920s the luxury cabriolets from Stuttgart combined the freedom of open-top motoring with the comfort and safety of a Mercedes-Benz Saloon. From the start of post-war production the top models from Mercedes-Benz were also available in the particularly exclusive variant as a cabriolet. These included the 170 S (W 136) from 1949, the 220 (W 187) from 1951 and the 300 S (W 188) from 1952.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />After the "Ponton" cabriolets 220 S (W 180) and 220 SE (W 128) built from 1956 to 1960, in 1961 the 220 SE Cabriolet of the model series W 111 was launched, a particularly elegant, open-top four-seater, whose design is still considered timeless to this day. In this ten-year production period Mercedes-Benz offered five different models in these model series: the 220 SE, 250 SE, 300 SE (W 112), 280 SE and, as a late top model, the eight-cylinder 280 SE 3.5 – in total 7013 units of these five cabriolets were manufactured in Sindelfingen. For the time being there was no open-top luxury-segment car in the Mercedes-Benz model range to follow this generation: rather, it is the new SL from model series 107 which cultivated the tradition of open-top motoring in the Stuttgart brand's cars – as a two-seater.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The cabriolets from Mercedes-Benz are today amongst the most sought-after classic cars – and the prices have developed accordingly. Examples of this are the cabriolets from model series 111 whose values are cited by the renowned American Hagerty Insurance's price guide. In its estimation a 280 SE 3.5 from the final year of construction, 1971, in condition 2 today has a value of around 290,000 US$ - ten years ago the figure was some 115,000 US$. But that is by no means the pinnacle: for instance, a specimen of this model in excellent condition was auctioned last August by RM Auctions for 429,000 US$.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The last six-cylinder 280 SE model (1969) in the same condition is valued today by Hagerty at approx. 75,000 US$ - about 45,000 US$ ten years ago. Early 220 SE models are around the same level, with a current value of some 84,000 US$.</em></div>
