The cigar lighter is located towards the centre of the dash panel. Pressing the centre of the cigar lighter latches the heater element into the holder. With the ignition in position "II", power flows through the heating element of the cigar lighter, causing it to heat up. When the heating element reaches a sufficient temperature, the holder automatically releases the cigar lighter which can then be removed for use.
The location of the cigar lighter holder is illuminated when the side lamps are switched on.
Operation
Feed from the positive battery terminal is connected to the engine compartment fuse box (C632-1) by a brown wire. Current passes through fusible link 1 and fusible link 2 of the engine compartment fuse box, which are connected in parallel.
Fusible link 1 of the engine compartment fuse box (C907-1) supplies a constant battery feed to the lighting switch (C041-1) on a brown wire. When the lighting switch is in the side or main lamp position, current flows through the switch (C041-2) to fuse 16 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C580-31) on a red wire. Fuse 16 (C580-32) is connected the cigar lighter illumination bulb (C074-1) by a red/orange wire. The bulb is earthed (C089-1) on a black wire.
Fusible link 2 of engine compartment fuse box (C907-2) is connected to the ignition switch (C028-1) by a brown wire. When the ignition switch is in position "II", current flows from the ignition switch (C094-1) to fuse 9 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C580-17) on a white wire. Fuse 9 (C580-16) is connected to the cigar lighter (C086-1) by a green wire. The cigar lighter is earthed (C089-1) on a black wire.
