Socket for OBD Onboard

Diagnosis

On the driver's side is an OBD socket for check‐
ing the primary components in the vehicle emis‐
sions.

Emissions

The warning lamp lights up:
Emissions are deteriorating. Have
the vehicle checked as soon as pos‐
sible.

The warning lamp flashes under certain cir‐
cumstances:
This indicates that there is excessive misfir‐
ing in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the sys‐
tem checked immediately; otherwise, seri‐
ous engine misfiring within a brief period can
seriously damage emission control compo‐
nents, in particular the catalytic converter.

Display of the previously described mal‐
functions on Canadian models.

Fuel cap

The indicator lamp lights up.
If the fuel cap is not properly tightened,
the OBD system may conclude that

fuel vapor is escaping. If the cap is then tight‐
ened, the display should go out in a short time.

Data memory

Your vehicle records data relating to vehicle op‐
eration, faults and user settings. These data are

stored in the remote control and can be read out
with suitable devices, particularly when the ve‐
hicle is serviced. The data obtained in this way
provide valuable information for service proc‐
esses and repair or for optimizing and develop‐
ing vehicle functions further. In addition, if you
signed a service contract for Assist, certain ve‐
hicle data can be sent directly from the vehicle
to facilitate the desired services.
