The front cigarette lighter fuse of the Lavida is located above the driver's foot pedal, while the rear fuse is on the side of the trunk. Instructions for using the cigarette lighter: 1. Activate the cigarette lighter until it heats up enough to light a cigarette. The lighter will automatically pop up with an audible sound as a notification; 2. Pull out the cigarette lighter, and use the heated end to touch the cigarette for lighting. Precautions when using the cigarette lighter: 1. Avoid using electrical appliances with excessively high power on the cigarette lighter; 2. If using the cigarette lighter for an extended period, try to start the vehicle; 3. Plug and unplug the cigarette lighter plug properly; 4. Remove external devices promptly after parking; 5. Regularly clean the heating wire of the cigarette lighter head; 6. Avoid foreign objects entering the cigarette lighter socket.
I run an auto repair shop and often get asked by Lavida owners about the cigarette lighter fuse location. Based on my experience, it's usually in the fuse box under the steering wheel on the driver's side. First, pry open the plastic cover near your knee area - you'll see a row of fuses with a colored diagram card inside. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically around 15A, marked with an "F" symbol, specifically F31 or F32 depending on the model year. It's easy to replace once you locate it on the diagram - most failures occur due to overloaded power outlets from using high-wattage chargers. I recommend regular checks and avoiding cheap accessories. If fuses keep blowing, there might be a short circuit requiring professional inspection. Just stay calm - keep spare fuses in your car for emergencies, it's a quick fix that takes minutes.
The cigarette lighter fuse in my old Lavida blew once, and I found it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the compartment door and lift it up or pull it out forcefully—the fuse panel is attached to the back of the cover. According to the manual diagram, the cigarette lighter is usually located at position F28 or 33, the red 15A one. After it blows, the cigarette lighter stops working and affects charging. Be careful not to plug in too many devices—overloading is the main cause. If the diagram is unclear or lost, you can search for a model-specific diagram online or ask a friend to take a photo—it’s quite convenient. Regularly cleaning dust can also prevent contact issues.
