Where is the cigarette lighter in the Regal?
2 Answers
Regal's cigarette lighter is located inside the round cover at the bottom of the center console in front of the gear shift lever. It has two main functions: 1. Providing a cigarette ignition source for passengers. 2. Can be equipped with a car inverter to convert the vehicle's 12V, 24V or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for ordinary electrical appliances. Additional information: 1. The car cigarette lighter power supply is generally 12V DC, with the central elastic head as the positive pole and the side clips as the negative pole. 2. It is directly connected to the car battery, with the same current and power specifications as the battery.
The cigarette lighter in my Buick Regal is located right in front of the gear shift on the center console, easily visible when you look down, usually next to the cup holders. The design is thoughtful, allowing the driver to reach it effortlessly without bending over. Nowadays, many people don't use it for lighting cigarettes but rather as a charging port for phones or tablets, which is quite convenient. However, I've reminded my friends not to use high-power devices like heavy-duty vacuum cleaners, as they can easily blow the fuse. It's also important to regularly clear any debris to avoid blocking the socket, and checking its position isn't difficult—just turn on the car lights for better visibility. Overall, the placement of the cigarette lighter in the Regal is very practical, and I rely on it every time I go on a road trip.
