The cigarette lighter fuse in the Ford Escort is located inside the cover panel on the lower left side of the driver's center console. You can see it after removing the cover panel. Here are the specific steps to replace the fuse: 1. Before inspection, turn off the engine and all electrical equipment. 2. Locate the corresponding position and use a small pry tool to open the protective cover. 3. Do not remove the fuse immediately; first, use a test pen to measure it. If one contact point lights up while the other does not respond, the fuse is likely damaged. 5. Carefully remove the blown fuse using tweezers or a similar tool, then secure the replacement fuse back in place.

Does the new Sylphy have an anti-collision beam?

The new Sylphy is equipped with a front anti-collision steel beam, while the rear has an integrated buffer layer with the car body, which provides certain buffering effects during later use, so there is no need to worry. More details are as follows: 1. Since the rear anti-collision beam is hidden inside the rear bumper, many car owners are unaware that their vehicles lack a rear anti-collision beam and do not understand its function. Some owners who know the importance of the rear anti-collision beam go to great lengths to install one. 2. The bumper, which is often discussed, is merely the outermost plastic component. In many cases, it serves only a decorative purpose. The real safety protection comes from the anti-collision beam inside the bumper. Normally, a car should have two anti-collision beams—one in the front to protect in case of rear-ending another car, and one in the rear to protect against being rear-ended. When it is said that there is no rear bumper, it actually means the car lacks a rear anti-collision beam. Without a rear anti-collision beam, the bumper cannot fulfill its protective role. 3. Some car manufacturers omit the rear bumper in economy cars priced around 100,000 yuan mainly to cut costs and maximize profits. In the event of a rear-end collision, the absence of a rear anti-collision beam can lead to excessive deformation of the car's rear, with the impact force directly damaging the rear structure and causing injuries or fatalities to rear-seat passengers. 4. It is reported that there are currently no relevant laws or regulations in China concerning rear anti-collision beams. Crash tests currently only cover frontal and side collisions, excluding rear-end collisions. Industry experts emphasize that the rear anti-collision beam is just as important as the front beam for a vehicle's safety.

Does a small gear driving a large gear reduce or increase speed?

A small gear driving a large gear reduces speed. More details about a small gear driving a large gear are as follows: 1. The rotation speed of a small gear driving a large gear will slow down, which is based on the principle of gear ratio: when two gears with different diameters mesh together, the larger gear will rotate slower than the smaller one. The speed ratio is inversely proportional to the gear diameter. 2. A small gear driving a large gear reduces speed and increases torque: Conversely, if a large gear drives a small gear, the torque decreases while the speed increases, provided that the large gear has sufficient torque. A slower speed outputs greater force, while a faster speed outputs less force. When power is constant, speed and force are inversely proportional.
