Cigar Lighter and Ash Receptacle

The cigar lighter knob and element (15052) has a low resistance heating coil which operates much like the coil used in a portable heater.

• When the cigar lighter knob and element is pushed completely in, the circuit is closed and current flows through the heating coil to the ground.
• When sufficient heat is generated, the cigar lighter knob and element will overcome the spring pressure of the bimetal retaining fingers and be released.

Ash receptacle (30702) and cigar lighters are located in the center of the instrument panel (04320) and in the rear armrests.
