On-board diagnostic interface
G WARNING
If you connect equipment to the on-board
diagnostic interface, it can affect the opera-
tion of the vehicle systems. This can impair
the operating safety of your vehicle while driv-
ing. There is a risk of accident.
Do not connect any equipment to the on-
board diagnostic interface.
G WARNING
Loose equipment or equipment cables which
are connected to the on-board diagnostic
interface may infringe on the space around
the pedals. The equipment or the cables could
get between the pedals in the event of sudden
braking or acceleration. You may then no lon-
ger be able to brake, operate the clutch or
accelerate as intended. There is a risk of acci-
dent.
Do not attach any equipment or cables in the
driver footwell.
Connecting equipment to the on-board diag-
nostic interface can lead to emissions moni-
toring information being reset. This may lead
to the vehicle failing to meet the require-
ments at the next emissions control test or
main inspection.
If the engine is switched off and equipment
on the on-board diagnostic interface is used,
the starter battery may discharge.
The on-board diagnostic interface is intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop.

essary specialist knowledge, tools and quali-
fications to correctly carry out the work

inform you about vehicle checks if it has your
registration data.
