Where is the Lexus cigarette lighter located?
2 Answers
The cigarette lighter is located next to the main console. Below are specific details about Lexus: 1. Background: Lexus (English: Lexus), established in 1983, is a globally renowned luxury automobile brand under the Japanese Toyota Group. In just over a decade, the brand's sales in North America surpassed those of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. 2. Brand Development: In August 1983, Toyota Motor Corporation held a significant board meeting, which marked the beginning of Lexus automobiles. This board meeting concealed Toyota's ambitions from the outside world with some trivial discussion topics. When the media and the public thought it was just another routine Toyota meeting for summaries, statements, and inspirational speeches, the meeting room doors suddenly closed, as the real and top-secret topic of the board meeting was about to begin. This topic revolved around the letter F (F refers to the F1 plan, with F also hinting at the English word Flagship, and 1 hinting at the first vehicle). The atmosphere of the meeting was no longer as calm and silent as usual, and rare debates arose among the board members.
When I first drove a Lexus, the cigarette lighter was located at the bottom of the front center console, near the gear shift lever. The design was discreet yet practical, usually covered by a small cap to prevent dust. It took me a few tries to find it because, unlike in other cars, it wasn’t very conspicuous. The position ensures the driver can easily reach it without obstructing their view. The exact location may vary slightly depending on the Lexus model—for example, in sedans like the ES series, it’s near the driver’s side of the center console, while in SUVs like the RX series, it might be in front of the center armrest. The cigarette lighter isn’t just for lighting cigarettes; more often, I use it to charge my phone or power other car accessories, which is quite convenient. If you can’t find it, try gently pushing open the small cover or checking near the passenger seat for an additional socket. During regular maintenance, don’t forget to clean it to prevent poor contact—its placement balances safety and convenience perfectly.
