The OBD interface of the Peugeot 308s is located below the steering wheel on the driver's side. The automotive OBD is the On-Board Diagnostics system. OBD is primarily used for real-time monitoring of the engine operating status and the working condition of the exhaust treatment system. It monitors in real-time systems and components including: EGR, engine, particulate filter, catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, etc. The Peugeot 308s is built based on the overseas Peugeot's new-generation 308 model, retaining many of the overseas model's design elements in its exterior. However, the new car has moved the lion LOGO from the engine hood to the center of the grille.

I've worked on quite a few Peugeot vehicles, and the OBD port location is actually quite consistent. In the Peugeot 308s, it's located in the footwell area on the driver's side, near the floor next to the steering column on the left. Just bend down and take a look, you should spot a black plastic cover—pry it open to reveal the port. Some owners tend to look in the wrong places, like rummaging around the center console or glove box, but it's actually designed to be more hidden. I recommend checking if the car key is turned off before searching to avoid any safety risks. Why is this port important? If your car throws a trouble code, connecting a scanner to it allows for quick diagnosis. If you still can't find it, the owner's manual usually has a diagram showing its location. Don't worry, with a bit of practice, you'll get the hang of it.

I've been driving a Peugeot 308s for several years, and it took me quite some effort to find the OBD port for the first time. It's located beneath the driver's seat footwell, hidden behind a small plastic cover that you can glimpse when turning the steering wheel. You'll need to crouch down or feel around with your hand to spot it easily. That time when I had a headlight malfunction, a friend recommended getting an OBD scanner, and it took me an hour to finally locate the port near the foot area. It's easy to overlook when not in use, but incredibly handy when you need to connect a device. Remember to bring a flashlight if the lighting is poor—it'll save you some hassle. Don't wander around blindly like I did—the 308s design is just this straightforward. Now, every time I do a check, I remind myself of this detail, which helps avoid a lot of trouble.

As a tech enthusiast, I must say the OBD port is the critical point for reading vehicle condition data. On the Peugeot 308s, its location is quite standard—basically in the footwell beneath the driver's side. There's a small port near the steering column, making it easy to plug and unplug scanning tools. This thing is incredibly useful—it allows you to check real-time fault codes for the engine or emission system, helping to catch minor issues early. Just be careful not to expose the port to water or dust, as it can affect connectivity. Whether you have a new or older 308s, the location should be the same with no differences. Using it properly can enhance driving safety, and developing a habit of regular plug-ins is a good practice.
