Where is the cigarette lighter in the 2021 LaCrosse?

2021 LaCrosse's cigarette lighter is located near the center armrest. Additional information is as follows: 1. New LaCrosse: The wheelbase and exterior dimensions of the new-generation LaCrosse better align with the positioning of a mid-to-high-end sedan. The new-generation LaCrosse measures 5000 mm in length, 1858 mm in width, and 1497 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2837 mm. The interior features a wraparound cockpit design. The Buick New LaCrosse is powered by a 3.0L SIDI all-aluminum direct-injection V6 engine, paired with a six-speed intelligent automatic transmission, achieving a 0~100km/h acceleration time of just 8.1 seconds. 2. Cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter (car cigarette lighter) is a standard component in all vehicles, providing a convenient ignition source for smokers. The cigarette lighter typically operates at 12V DC (may vary by vehicle model), with the central spring-loaded contact as the positive terminal and the side clips (ears) as the negative terminals. It is directly connected to the vehicle's battery, sharing the same current and power specifications.
My 2021 LaCrosse has been driven for almost three years, and the cigarette lighter is hidden at the very front of the center armrest console. When you lift the lid and look down, you can see the round metal socket. I mainly use it to power the dash cam. I once tried plugging in a car vacuum cleaner, which blew a fuse—later I learned the cigarette lighter fuse is in a hidden compartment below the steering wheel. I recommend getting a multi-functional car charger for fast phone charging without overloading the circuit; it’s also the most convenient spot for a hand warmer in winter. There are many wires inside the armrest, so align the plug properly and avoid forcing it. Also, pay attention to heat dissipation while charging. The design is quite practical—just reach with your right hand while driving, much more convenient than the older models that placed it under the dashboard.
