Where is the cigarette lighter in the CR-V?

[McKaden]

The fuse for the car cigarette lighter is generally located on the lower left side of the steering column (may vary by model). Actual structural damage to the cigarette lighter is rare, with fuse failure being the most common cause of malfunction. The maximum current the cigarette lighter circuit can handle is typically 10A (some models support 20A). Given the cigarette lighter socket's 12V voltage, if the total power of connected devices exceeds 120W, the circuit will overload. Therefore, avoid using devices exceeding 120W in your vehicle. Here's how the cigarette lighter works: 1. Besides lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can be equipped with a car power inverter that converts 12V, 24V or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for standard electrical devices, such as charging mobile electronics. 2. For car inverters, a split-type design is recommended. Keep device power below 150W to ensure output current doesn't exceed the battery's capacity. 3. The cigarette lighter socket functions like a multi-outlet power strip for vehicles. By plugging into the car's power source, it provides multiple cigarette lighter ports. This socket is particularly useful for drivers who frequently use car electronics.
