Is it implicitly assumed that a product of manifolds have the product smooth manifold structure?

$begingroup$


If $M$ and $N$ are smooth manifolds and $(U,varphi)$ is a smooth chart of $M times N$, is it standard for a text to assume that $M times N$ has the product smooth manifold structure without implicitly stating so? I am following John Lee's introduction to smooth manifolds, and wonder if I can assume that $(pi_1(U), pi_1 circ varphi)$ is a smooth chart of $M$.

    $pi_1 circ varphi$ cannot be a chart for $M$.
