Where is my 12v socket on only with ignition

Hi,
Just joined. Love my caddy.
I need a 12volt cigerette lighter socket that is only on when the ignition is switched on. Manual says there is that very thing in the stowage area of the upper dash panel. I assume that is the small lidded compartment below centre of windscreen but there's not one in there.
Model is 2014 maxi life 1.6 diesel.
It's needed so things can be left plugged in without the worry of draining the battery, eg cooler box. I will forget to unplug.
All the other sockets (3) are permanently live.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Foo90

Plenty of spare ignition- on fuses in the fusebox to add one though

Torque777 - thanks for your feedback. If I'm not the only one without an ignition-on socket then i expect manual is referring to option my caddy doesn't have.

Tommyzoom. Good idea. Thanks. I'll do that.
