Which fuses control the cigar lighter and power outlet in the Toyota Prius V / Prius+ / Prius α?
In the Toyota Prius V, Prius+, or Prius α, the interior cigar lighter and accessory power outlets are protected by two fuses located in the Instrument Panel Fuse Box:
Fuse #1 “CIG” – dedicated to the cigar lighter (cigarette socket). Fuse #3 “PWR OUTLET” – protects the 12 V auxiliary power outlet.
If the lighter or outlet stops working, inspect these fuses first and replace any blown fuse with the same amperage specified in your owner’s manual.
