Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Tiida?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Nissan Tiida is located in the fuse box under the cover on the left side of the steering wheel. The cigarette lighter is a component found in all vehicles, designed to provide a convenient ignition source for drivers who smoke. Additional information: In terms of safety features, the new car is equipped with the NISSAN i-SAFETY intelligent active safety system, which includes the FEB (Forward Emergency Braking) system. When the vehicle is traveling at speeds between 10km/h and 80km/h, the FEB system continuously monitors pedestrians or vehicles directly ahead. If the system detects a potential collision risk, it provides early warnings through audible alerts and the TFT display on the instrument panel, and can initiate automatic emergency braking to prevent collision hazards.
My old Tiida's cigarette lighter has failed twice, both times traced to the fuse box located under the driver's seat on the left side. You'll need to open the car door, crouch down to spot a palm-sized plastic cover, then unclip it with your fingernails. Inside, you'll find densely packed fuses – the manual labels the cigarette lighter fuse as '20A CIG'. Use fuse pullers to extract it and check if the thin wire in the middle has blown. However, in newer Tiida models, it might be hidden under the dust cover on the right side of the engine bay – I helped a neighbor with one last year, which had a white 15A fuse with a lightning bolt symbol. Remember to keep spare fuses in your car; you can buy a whole box for about twenty yuan.
When the dash cam suddenly went black, I knew the cigarette lighter had failed again! The easiest way is to reach under the driver's seat for the fuse box. Here's a trick: turn off the ignition, don't press the brake pedal, just press the start button twice to power up the car. Pry open the small cover on the left and focus on checking the blue 20-amp fuse at the bottom of the second column from the right. Use your phone's flashlight to see if the metal wire inside is broken. Before you start, unplug any charging cables—last time mine short-circuited and burned out due to a faulty charger. In newer models, it might be hidden in the engine compartment fuse box; look for the one labeled 'ACCESSORY SOCKET'.
