Where is the cigarette lighter in the Geely Emgrand?
1 Answers
The cigarette lighter is located on the lower front side of the gear shift, marked by a circular hole. The cigarette lighter operates at a 12-volt power supply, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Typically, the cigarette lighter has a dedicated power line connected to it, separate from other circuits, and thus has its own fuse. Below is some related information about the cigarette lighter: 1. Vehicles are equipped with a cigarette lighter for the convenience of the driver. Despite opposition to smoking in cars, this feature remains and is not removed. Some high-end vehicles even have an additional cigarette lighter in the rear for the convenience of backseat passengers. With advancements in automotive technology, the cigarette lighter is increasingly used to power various additional electronic devices, such as GPS units, MP3 converters, power inverters, electric razors, car air compressors, and car wash pumps, greatly enhancing convenience for drivers. As the use of these devices grows, the frequency of cigarette lighter usage also increases. 2. When using the cigarette lighter, it is advisable to insert and remove it vertically, avoiding side-to-side movement. Frequent wiggling during insertion or removal can loosen the cigarette lighter, cause short circuits, and in severe cases, burn out the fuse or even damage connected electronic devices. In the Emgrand, the outer metal shell of the cigarette lighter serves as the negative terminal, while the central heating element is the positive terminal. Inserting the lighter and pressing it locks it in place, connecting the heating element to the positive terminal of the socket for heating. Once the heating element reaches the required temperature, the retaining clip deforms and releases the lighter plug, which pops out. At this point, the temperature is sufficient to light a cigarette. After use, reinsert the lighter plug into the socket, allowing the heating element to cool down naturally.
