The cigarette lighter in the Haval F7 is located inside the storage compartment in the center of the dashboard. To use the cigarette lighter, first press the storage compartment cover to open it, then press the cigarette lighter handle. When heated and ready for use, the handle will automatically pop out. Below are some precautions for using the Haval F7 cigarette lighter: 1. Using the Haval F7 cigarette lighter is simple—just insert the lighter into the socket and press it down. When it automatically pops back up, it is ready for use. The maximum power capacity of the cigarette lighter is generally 120W. Exceeding this limit may overload the lighter, leading to hazards such as burning out the lighter. 2. If you need to use the cigarette lighter for an extended period or with high-power devices, it is advisable to start the car engine to enhance the electrical supply. This prevents draining the car battery, as the cigarette lighter draws DC power from the car's alternator. As long as the engine is running, the alternator generates electricity, which powers all in-car electrical devices. 3. When lighting a cigarette, ensure not to press too hard against the heating coil. If tobacco or other debris falls into the coil, clean it promptly to prolong the lighter's lifespan. Some premium vehicles also have a spare cigarette lighter socket in the trunk, so be mindful of any foreign objects entering it.
I just bought a Haval F7 not long ago, and the cigarette lighter socket is located right on the front panel of the center console. You can easily reach it with your right hand, basically in the small slot next to the gear shift lever. While driving, you can effortlessly plug or unplug a charger or the cigarette lighter. If you open the armrest box, there might be another spare socket hidden inside, which is especially useful during long trips for charging your phone or plugging in a small car device. The position is quite user-friendly and doesn’t obstruct your view. I always clean the socket dust when parked to avoid poor contact. Remember, the new car manual has detailed illustrations. I’ll take a photo and send it to you for reference to confirm the location is correct.
Buddy, the cigarette lighter in my Haval F7 is super easy to find. It's located below the dashboard panel on the driver's side of the front row, near the USB port. It's usually ready to use after starting the car. I often plug in a navigation device or car charger there—the position is incredibly convenient, just a hand's reach while driving. If you can't find it, try checking inside the glove compartment or the deeper part of the center console, but the dashboard one is the most commonly used. A little tip: avoid using high-power electrical devices, as they can easily blow a fuse. I keep a multimeter handy to check the voltage regularly for safety.
