How to use the cigarette lighter in Kia K3?
2 Answers
The usage method of the Kia K3 cigarette lighter is: fully press the cigarette lighter into the socket, and when the temperature reaches a certain level, it will automatically pop up to the ready position. The voltage of the Kia K3 cigarette lighter is 12V. If you need to use the cigarette lighter to charge your phone, you also need to use a converter. The Kia K3 is equipped with a 1.6T diesel turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 136PS and a maximum torque of 300Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Kia K3 is positioned as a compact car, with a length, width, and height of 4600mm, 1780mm, and 1445mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50L.
When I first started using the cigarette lighter in my Kia K3, it took me a bit of figuring out. The socket is that small round hole right in front of the gear shift. When you plug in a car charger or the cigarette lighter head, you'll hear a 'click' sound, indicating it's properly seated. To use it for lighting cigarettes, press down on the top metal head and wait for it to pop out on its own—never pry it out with your fingers. This socket supports up to 120W. I mainly use it to charge my phone, but be careful not to use high-power devices like car vacuums, as they can easily blow the fuse. If it doesn't work, first check the F5 fuse (7.5A) in the fuse box under the steering wheel. It's best to unplug the charger after turning off the engine to avoid draining the battery. Recently, I installed a dual USB charger with a voltage display, which makes it convenient to monitor the battery status while driving.
