Which fuse is the cigarette lighter in a 2017 Renault Clio?

Finding the right fuse without a manual or car knowledge is intimidating, and worrying about repair costs makes people put off fixing simple electrical issues. Fuses are inexpensive to replace yourself once you know which slot to look in, saving you from paying a mechanic for a basic fix.

“Well I blew one of those fuses yesterday. It looks scary in there but I really don’t have the funds for this at the moment. If it needs to be replaced, about how much will that be and can I wait?”source ↗
