The cigarette lighter in the Mercedes-Benz C260L is located in the rear row, below the air vent. How to use the cigarette lighter: There is a cigarette (or voltage value) depicted on the round button. Press the cigarette lighter button, and the lighter will start heating up. It will pop out automatically when reaching a certain temperature, accompanied by a slight sound as a notification. Cigarette lighter fuse location: The fuse for the rear cigarette lighter is located in the fuse box on the right side of the trunk. Remove the cover to access it. The exact position of the cigarette lighter fuse is clearly labeled on the inner side of the fuse box cover. Please note that the inner end is the heating end – handle with care to avoid burns. Simply touch the cigarette with the heated end of the lighter.
I remember last time when driving the Mercedes-Benz V260L, it was quite tricky to find the cigarette lighter. It's located on the front console near the driver's seat, close to the center console storage compartment. Just slide open the small cover to reveal the socket. I used it to charge my phone, but you have to be careful not to get distracted while driving to look for it. The design in luxury cars like Mercedes is very discreet. If it has an ashtray function, make sure to check if the button is turned off first. There's a similar socket for the rear seats, located next to the armrest box, which is very convenient for charging or lighting cigarettes for rear passengers during trips. I've noticed that the position of cigarette lighters varies in new cars, so it's best to check the manual or ask the 4S store to avoid tampering with the wiring and causing a short circuit.
When driving the Mercedes-Benz V260L, the cigarette lighter is located right in front of the center console area, near the cup holders, making it easy to flip open the cover for use. I often use it to connect a charger, and find its design more user-friendly compared to sedans. If you can't locate it, it might be integrated into the 12V power outlet, as cigarette lighters are now widely used for plugging in GPS devices or car refrigerators. There may also be additional sockets in the rear seats and trunk, as the V260L, being an MPV, emphasizes space layout. I recommend operating it after starting the car to avoid draining the battery too quickly. Regularly cleaning out dust is also important to prevent poor contact.
