The cigarette lighter fuse of the Roewe RX5 is located under the left dashboard cover. It is a type of current fuse that will melt within seconds when the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, serving the purpose of circuit protection. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4571mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, a wheelbase of 2708mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 275 Nm at 1750 to 4000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The cigarette lighter fuse of the Roewe RX5 is usually located in the fuse box inside the cabin, positioned closer to the driver's side. You may need to crouch down—there's a small cover under the dashboard below the steering wheel. Opening it reveals rows of fuses. The fuse legend is marked on the inside of the cover or in the owner's manual; look for the number labeled "cigarette lighter" or "auxiliary power." When checking it yourself, always turn off the vehicle's power first to avoid electric shock risks. A blown fuse might be caused by plugging in a device with too high power, such as a charger or car fridge, exceeding the standard 15A load. In daily use, match device power to prevent issues. Replacing a fuse is simple—just buy one with the same amperage. Avoid randomly pulling other fuses to prevent chain failures; it's best to refer to the manual or visit a 4S shop.
