How to Use the Cigarette Lighter in Audi A6?
2 Answers
The cigarette lighter socket of the Audi A6 is located at the lower right corner of the center console button area. Simply press down the handle of the cigarette lighter to start heating, and it will automatically pop out when finished. The power voltage of the cigarette lighter is 12 volts, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Usually, the cigarette lighter has a separate power line connected to it. Relevant information about the cigarette lighter is as follows: 1. The cigarette lighter (car-cigarette-lighter) is a component found in all cars, providing a convenient ignition source for drivers who smoke. 2. The outer metal shell of the cigarette lighter serves as the negative terminal of the power source, while the central heating wire is the positive terminal. When the cigarette lighter is inserted and pressed down to lock, the heating element contacts the positive terminal of the lighter socket, initiating the heating process. Once the heating element reaches the required temperature, the temperature-sensitive spring deforms, releasing the lighter plug, which pops out and can be used to light a cigarette. After use, it should be reinserted into the socket (without pressing down again).
A friend asked how to use the cigarette lighter in an Audi A6, and I often help neighbors with such issues. First, locate the round metal socket in the center console or armrest, usually protected by a rubber cover. To light a cigarette, press the cigarette lighter button down and wait for it to pop out and turn red before use. More often, it serves as a car charger—just plug in an adapter to charge your phone. However, be cautious with the power; devices like GPS or dash cams around 10W are safest. Once, a guy plugged in a high-power vacuum cleaner and blew a fuse, costing over 200 yuan to replace. After use, remember to clean the metal contacts—I once spilled coffee in there, causing poor contact.
