Where is the diagnostic connector located on the Peugeot 5008?

The diagnostic connector of the Peugeot 5008 is located inside the cabin. There is an OBD-labeled clip at the diagnostic connector; opening the clip reveals the diagnostic connector interface. The purpose of the car's diagnostic connector is: when the car malfunctions, the fault codes can be read through the car's OBD interface, and then the faults can be analyzed and cleared. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The OBD system continuously monitors whether the car's exhaust exceeds the standard during engine operation and will issue an alert immediately if it does. 2. Initially, the OBD interface was set up only to monitor the car's exhaust emissions, but in recent years, OBD has evolved through several generations, greatly enhancing its functions and roles.
I remember when I first drove the Peugeot 5008, it took me quite a while to locate the diagnostic port. It's in the area below the steering wheel on the driver's side, to be more precise—when you're seated in the driver's seat, look down toward the area above the brake or accelerator pedal. At knee height, just beneath the dashboard, there's a small black rectangular port that feels slightly cool to the touch. Once, I tried connecting a diagnostic tool to check for trouble codes and ended up rummaging through the small drawers under the center console in vain. Later, I discovered it was right there, actually quite noticeable. The placement is designed to be safe and discreet, preventing accidental kicks while maintaining aesthetics. If new owners aren't sure, I recommend crouching down for a closer look rather than yanking it forcefully. By the way, regularly checking this can save a lot of repair headaches, especially for family cars like the 5008—staying vigilant pays off.
