The OBD interface of Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is located inside the cabin. There is a clip with an OBD label at the OBD interface, and you can see the OBD interface by opening the clip. Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is a mid-size 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1650mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2840mm. The Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It adopts front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've worked on quite a few Peugeot vehicles before, and the OBD port on this 5008 is indeed somewhat concealed. You'll need to crawl under the driver's seat – there's a small cover panel directly below the steering wheel, usually marked with an 'OBD' label. Pry it open to reveal the port. The interface is located about 30 cm above the right side of the brake pedal, mounted on a metal bracket very close to the ECU. Remember to turn off the ignition before plugging in the diagnostic tool – I've had customers who rushed the connection and ended up short-circuiting and blowing a fuse. Actually, this position is quite well designed, providing sufficient legroom during wiring, though the port tends to collect dust and needs regular cleaning. If you can't find it, don't force open the interior trim panels. I'd recommend checking behind the glove compartment or under the center console – the older 508 models hid it there.
Buddy, I just installed a tire pressure monitor on my 5008 and spent ages finding the OBD port. It's located in the driver's seat area – bend down and look below the steering column, right above the footwell where you'll spot a black socket. This spot is quite recessed; I had to use my phone's flashlight to see it clearly. The upward-facing design tends to collect dust, so remember to blow clean the contacts before plugging or unplugging. Last time at the 4S shop, I saw technicians using the OBD port to connect a computer for programming, like modifying the auto start-stop function, so this port is crucial. If you're buying a Bluetooth diagnostic adapter, go for a compact one – larger ones can get in the way near the steering column and bother your feet.
The OBD port location of the 5008 is not hard to find. Sitting in the driver's seat, reach down and feel around. About 15 centimeters to the right of the steering wheel adjustment lever, there's a plastic cover—lift it to reveal the port. The interface is a standard 16-pin, and nowadays, many insurance companies provide dash cams that draw power from here. However, pay attention to the engine light status when connecting devices; once, a client of mine caused the car's computer to report an error due to incorrect operation. Remember to clean around the port regularly, as the rubber seal can degrade and let moisture in. If you really can't find it, try observing while starting the vehicle—some models have an indicator light flashing near the port.
