How to use the cigarette lighter in the Tiguan?

Tiguan cigarette lighter usage method: The cigarette lighter is located below the center console. Press it to activate automatic heating. After 5 to 8 seconds of heating, it will automatically pop out when ready, allowing you to light cigarettes. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, offering four versions (Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline) across seven models. These are equipped with either 1.8TSI or 2.0TSI engines, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. All Tiguan models come standard with ESP electronic stability program, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, ASR traction control, as well as front dual airbags and side airbags to ensure passenger safety.
I've been driving the Tiguan for several years, and I can't do without the cigarette lighter on every long-distance trip. It's located in that round socket next to the front center armrest. To use it, just take the small lighter accessory, insert it, press the button when you hear a click, and it will start heating up. After about five or six seconds, it pops out automatically when hot, ready to light a cigarette. If I don't smoke much, I often plug in a USB charger for my phone or tablet, which is quite convenient. However, be careful not to use it for too long or plug in high-power devices like a car fridge, as it can easily blow the fuse. If the socket stops working, first check if the corresponding fuse in the fuse box has blown—replacing it usually fixes the issue. After driving, remember to unplug devices and clean the socket to avoid poor contact, ensuring safety and durability. Be especially cautious about water exposure during rainy days to prevent short circuits. Overall, the Tiguan's design is thoughtful, with the cigarette lighter positioned conveniently close to hand without affecting driving.
