Does the Haval F7 have a cigarette lighter?
3 Answers
Haval F7 is equipped with a cigarette lighter. It is located below the console in a hollowed-out design, which includes a cigarette lighter and a USB port. How to use the cigarette lighter: First, locate the cigarette lighter button, which is a round button with a cigarette icon (or voltage value) on it. Press the icon button to automatically heat it up. Once heated, it will pop out, and you will hear a popping sound. Take the popped-out side and use the other side to light the cigarette by touching it to the end of the cigarette for a few seconds. Precautions for replacing fuses: Fuses control the current and voltage of various components. Improper installation can easily burn out the fuse, and in severe cases, it may cause explosions or fires. Therefore, it is not recommended for car owners to replace fuses by themselves.
I've been driving this Haval F7 for over two years now. The round, covered socket in the center console is actually the cigarette lighter port, though nowadays it's mostly used as a 12V power outlet. It's conveniently positioned behind the gear lever within easy reach while driving. Just note that the vehicle doesn't come with a cigarette lighter head - you'll need to purchase an adapter separately. It supports up to 120W maximum power, and I often use it to power both my dashcam and phone charger simultaneously. I'd recommend against using it for actual cigarettes though, given how common e-cigarettes are these days. This port works much better for powering car refrigerators or air pumps, especially during summer road trips when they become particularly useful.
As an automotive circuit enthusiast, the cigarette lighter socket in the Haval F7 is quite standard in terms of technical specifications. With a 12V/10A power supply capacity, it's located in the storage compartment at the bottom of the center console. Interestingly, the socket features a temperature protection device that automatically cuts off power in case of overload. Recommendations for use: it automatically powers off half an hour after the engine is turned off to prevent battery drain; for high-power devices (like air pumps), it's advisable to start the engine; when purchasing a converter, choose one with overload protection. Just the other day, I used this socket to inflate bicycle tires, and it responded faster than in ordinary cars.
