The four-door fastback Volkswagen Arteon has been produced since 2017 and still remains the flagship premium model in the Volkswagen lineup. In this article, you will find detailed diagrams of the fuse blocks of the Volkswagen Arteon 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 models, information about the locations of the mounting blocks in the cabin and engine compartment, as well as a full description of the purpose of each fuse and relay.
Created as a successor to the VW CC, the Volkswagen Arteon has a more modern body with frameless doors, an improved electronic architecture and spectacular LED optics. Due to the increased number of electronic components, the car is equipped with additional power circuits and separate fuses, in particular for the door modules, which are located in the main passenger compartment fuse block.
Interior fuse box
Fuse box location
Left-hand drive: The interior fuse box in the Volkswagen Arteon is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Due to the compact layout of the interior elements, access to it is somewhat limited. The fuses and relays are installed very tightly, so for their safe removal it is recommended to use a special plastic puller (tweezers), which is usually attached to the fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
Right-hand drive: This fuse block is located behind a cover on the left side of the glove compartment.
