Where is the OBD port located in a Citroen C5?

In the Citroen C5, the OBD port is located inside the center console next to the gear shift lever. The OBD device can simultaneously monitor multiple systems and components in the vehicle, including: the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensors, emission control system, and fuel system. Taking the 2019 Citroen C5 as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4825mm, width 1860mm, height 1480mm, wheelbase 2815mm, front track 1590mm, rear track 1572mm, fuel tank capacity 70 liters, trunk capacity 439 liters, and curb weight 1580kg.
After driving the Citroën C5 for so many years, I've found that the OBD port is usually hidden on the left side below the steering wheel, visible when you bend down near the knee area. I often use it to connect a diagnostic scanner for reading trouble codes, which has saved me a lot on repair costs. The fixed location makes it hard to miss, but don't pry blindly when searching—just gently pull open the dashboard trim. Sometimes the position may slightly vary in newer models, but it's always within the driver's side area. Remember to periodically clean dust from the port to prevent poor contact affecting diagnostic tool connections—this tip I learned from an old mechanic, practical and safe.
