Where is the ACC fuse located on the new Audi A6?

The front radar sensor is located below the license plate, featuring a circular housing with a material similar to surveillance cameras. Vehicles with the 3.0T engine have this configuration marked, while models without this option will have the device installed in this position. Fuse box locations: The Audi A6L 3.0 has four fuse boxes in total: one in the engine compartment's upper right corner near the brake fluid, one behind each of the left and right dashboard trim panels, and another inside the right trim panel of the luggage compartment. About automotive fuses: Numerous electrical devices in a vehicle's circuit are connected by wires of different colors, among which the fuse is the most crucial component. Though commonly called a fuse, it's officially termed a circuit breaker in national standards. Its primary function is to protect the circuit (wiring) and electrical equipment.
I've been driving the new Audi A6 for a few months. When the ACC system stopped working, I immediately thought of a fuse issue. There's usually a small cover on the inner side of the dashboard, below the driver's seat on the left. Opening it reveals the fuse box, where the ACC-related fuse might be labeled with a number, such as position 15 or 20. Last time my ACC suddenly failed, I checked the owner's manual for a diagram, used small pliers to pull out the fuse, and saw it had turned black. After replacing it with a new 10A fuse of the same type, everything worked fine again. Don’t attempt this blindly—inserting the wrong fuse could damage the electronic module. It's best to keep a set of spare fuses or go directly to a 4S shop. Beginners should remember to turn off the power beforehand for safety. While checking the manual, you might also find the fuse locations for other systems.
