Default Does your lighter work?
I smoke - but not in my car.

I could not find my lighter so I decided to use the lighter in the car. For some reason it gets hot (not hot enough to light my cigarette) and it does not turn red.

It doesnt turn red, but just hot enough to light the cig. I guess theres some safety issues related?

I wouldnt doubt it. Toyota is so damn concerned with minor silly safety things that Im surprised they let us even drive the car because they sure wont let us enter an address while moving!

All you have to do is after it pops out hold it down for an extra 2-3 secs and it will get even hotter.
