GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The car offers the occupants three ashtrays: one at the centre of the dashboard, and two for the rear seats. The inside of the front ashtray is illuminated when the side lights are on (see "Illumination of controls and indicators"), next to it there is the "cigar lighter" resistance which is turned on pressing it into its socket: after a few seconds it pops out, ready for use, automatically. This socket is of the standard type and it may also be used for connecting other instruments or appliances (provided that they operate at 12V).
N.B.: The socket is fitted with a thermal protection device: in the event of connections with high energy absorption devices, this protection "cuts out".
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The connection socket for the cigar lighter resistance O6 is supplied directly by battery current via fuse F2 of fusebox G1, (box "A" and "B") which suitably protects the circuit or through relay I35 (key-operated supply) and fuse F4 in fusebox G1 (box "C").
The cigar lighter bulb O6 is turned on when the side lights are on (also see "Illumination of controls and indicators").
