Fuses

The fuses in the Citroën C6 (1st generation) are arranged clearly in the passenger compartment, engine compartment and luggage compartment. This chapter shows the positions of the fuse boxes, explains how to remove the covers and how to access the fuses. Replace a fuse only after the cause of the fault has been identified; incorrect fuse ratings can cause further damage. Spare fuses and a special clip are kept ready in the compartment under the dashboard. Maxi fuses for high-current circuits may only be replaced by authorised workshops. Clear visual instructions help you stay calm and act correctly even in stressful situations, an essential part of the vehicle's operating safety.

Fuse boxes

Two fuse boxes are installed under the dashboard: one in the engine compartment and the other in the luggage compartment, under the left front wing trim.

Replacing a fuse
