Usage of car cigarette lighter: 1. Turn on the car power (some cars require the power to be on before the cigarette lighter can be used); 2. Insert the cigarette lighter into the power socket; 3. Insert the cigarette lighter into the car power socket and press down to lock it; 4. The cigarette lighter starts heating. When the heating wire reaches the required temperature, it will pop out automatically, or wait 5 to 8 seconds until the heating wire turns red. You don't need to wait for it to pop out by itself; you can also pull it out manually; 5. After lighting the cigarette, return the cigarette lighter to the power socket. A car cigarette lighter is an electronic device similar to a multi-socket power outlet for household use. It connects to the car power source via a plug and provides multiple cigarette lighter ports.
I've been driving for many years and frequently use the car's cigarette lighter, mainly for lighting cigarettes and as a power socket. When lighting a cigarette, insert the dedicated cigarette lighter head into the socket, wait for the light to turn on indicating it's heated, then remove it to light the cigarette. However, more people use it for charging, such as plugging in a USB adapter to power phones, GPS devices, or dash cams. I often use it to charge my phone, ensuring it doesn't run out of battery while navigating. But be careful not to plug in too many high-power devices, like car vacuum cleaners or heating equipment, as this can easily blow a fuse. Once, I plugged in the wrong thing and blew a fuse, costing me 100 yuan to fix. For maintenance, clean the socket with a cotton swab to prevent dust buildup and extend its lifespan. Always unplug devices after parking to avoid draining the battery. Its simple design significantly enhances driving convenience.
