Socket for OBD Onboard 
Diagnostics interface
The chief components that make up the emis-
sions content can be checked by a device that 
uses the OBD socket.
This socket is located to the left on the driver's 
side, on the underside of the instrument cluster 
under a cover.
Emissions
The warning lamp lights up:
The vehicle is producing higher emis-
sions. Continued driving is possible. 
Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
The lamp flashes under certain conditions. This 
is a sign of excessive misfiring of the engine. In 
this case, you should reduce your speed and 
proceed to the nearest BMW Sports Activity 
Vehicle Center. Heavy engine misfiring causes 
serious damage to the emission-relevant com-
ponents, especially the catalytic converter, 
within a short time.
The warning lamp lights up if the fuel 
cap has not been properly tightened 
and the OBD system detects the 
escape of fuel vapors. Check that the fuel cap is 
correctly seated and tighten it until you hear a 
clearly audible click.
Data memory
Your vehicle records data on vehicle operation, 
malfunctions and user settings. These data are 
stored in the vehicle and in part in the remote 
control and can be read out by suitable devices 
during service, for example. The read data are 
used to assist in servicing and repairing your 
vehicle or for the optimization and continued 
development of vehicle functions. In addition, if 
you signed a service contract for Assist, certain 
vehicle data can be sent directly from the vehi-
cle to facilitate the desired services.
