Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Lavida?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Lavida is located in the fuse box. The Lavida's fuse box is situated behind the left-side cover panel in the driver's position. To locate the cigarette lighter fuse, you need to open the cover panel. The cigarette lighter is a standard component in all vehicles, designed to provide a flame source for smokers. Essentially, a cigarette lighter is a device used for lighting cigarettes, and the commonly referred-to cigarette lighter can also draw power from the vehicle's electrical system. Some manufacturers produce cigarette lighters not intended for lighting cigarettes but rather for drawing power from the car, which are also known as cigar lighters. The Lavida measures 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years. Last time when the cigarette lighter wasn't working, I discovered that the fuse location is right below the steering wheel on the left side. When you sit in the driver's seat, just look down and you'll see a small plastic cover. Use your finger to pry it open, and inside is the fuse box. The fuse number for the cigarette lighter is usually F42 or F43, depending on your model year. For example, my 2019 model uses F42 position with a 15-amp mini fuse. Remember to turn off the car key when checking to avoid short circuits. The reason for a blown fuse might be related to plugging in too many charging devices or voltage fluctuations. After replacing with a new fuse, the function was restored, but don't mess with it yourself to avoid electric shock. It's best to check during regular maintenance to prevent problems.
