When placed in it cigarette lighter receptacle it can be heated by pressing a button on the top of the Ford cigarette lighter. When this is pushed, an electric current is passed through the lighter making it hot enough to burn. As the current is passed through the lighter, it’s held in place by a spring clip when the button is pressed. When the lighter is ready, it pops up and is able to be removed from the holder.

In most cars there is a cigarette lighter receptacle in the front and rear of the vehicle for driver and passenger use.
