filament.
► Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have the
electrical system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

corresponding diagrams are available
from a CITROËN dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact a
