The computer connector of Dongfeng Citroen C5 is located inside the armrest box. Please see the detailed introduction below: 1. The computer connector of Dongfeng Citroen C5 is inside the armrest box. Open it, and you will find a black rectangular cover at the front part. Open it to access the connector. 2. The exterior dimensions of Citroen C5 rank high in the M2 class (mid-to-high-end models), approaching the H class (high-end models). C5 is positioned as grand, noble, and upscale. This can be clearly felt from the wood grain decorations on the center console and doors, as well as the traditional air vents. The interior design of the C5 is quite fashionable, featuring a combination of light and dark colors, leather electrically adjustable front seats, and a unique design and functionality. 3. In terms of power, the new Citroen C5 is equipped with a 1.6T L4 turbocharged engine. The engine has a maximum horsepower of 167 PS and a maximum torque of 245 N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.8 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.5L/100km.
In my years of repairing cars, the diagnostic port for the Citroën C5 is typically hidden in the left area below the steering wheel, near the dashboard at the driver's footwell. If you crouch down and look above the left footrest, you'll find a 16-pin plastic connector. It's designed to be noticeable but slightly recessed to avoid accidental contact. If you can't locate it, check if it's covered by floor mats or clutter, or note that its position might vary slightly in different model years—some versions may have it positioned more to the right. Always ensure the engine is off before connecting an OBD scanner to read fault codes, which is especially helpful when the check engine light is on. Regular checks can prevent minor issues from escalating and also help monitor fuel efficiency, making maintenance simple and worry-free.
