The computer plug of Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is located under the ashtray in the center console. The computer plug refers to the OBD interface. OBD is the On-Board Diagnostics system, and its functions are: 1. To locate and describe faults in specific parts or components, facilitating repairs; 2. To alert when faults cause excessive emissions, indicating increased environmental impact from pollutant emissions. Taking the 2020 Zhi Qu Edition Dongfeng Peugeot 408 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4750mm, width 1820mm, height 1488mm, wheelbase 2730mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and trunk capacity 455 liters.
When I'm servicing the Dongfeng Peugeot 408, I often encounter the issue of locating the computer port. Actually, that OBD port is located in the dashboard area outside the left knee of the driver's steering wheel. You can see it by bending down and looking - usually there's a small plastic cover above the pedal or under the glove compartment that you can lift to reveal it. It's designed there to make it easier for technicians to connect diagnostic tools without too much effort. I've connected scanning devices many times - it's a standard 16-pin port that's super useful for reading fault codes or adjusting parameters. If you're doing it yourself, make sure to operate after turning off the engine, and don't pull hard to avoid damaging the connector wires. When the location is hidden, it might be blocked by floor mats or clutter - just clean patiently and you'll find it. This position is quite common in Peugeot models. Regular checks and keeping it clean help with timely problem diagnosis.
