Socket for OBD Onboard

Diagnostics interface

Components which are decisive for the
exhaust-gas composition can be checked via
the OBD socket with a device.
This socket is located on the driver's side on the
left under a cover.

Exhaust-gas values

The warning lamp lights up:
The vehicle emissions are raised. The
trip can be continued. Have the vehicle

checked as soon as possible.

Display of the previously described
malfunction in Canadian models.
The lamp flashes under certain condi-

tions. This is a sign of excessive misfiring of the
engine. In this case you should reduce speed
and drive to the nearest BMW center as soon as
possible. Heavy engine misfiring causes seri-
ous damage to the emission-relevant compo-
nents, especially the catalytic converter, within
a short time.

If the fuel filler cap is not properly tight-
ened, the OBD system will assume that

fuel vapor escapes. Then a display lights up. If
the cap is then tightened, the display will go out
within a few days.

Data recorders

Your vehicle may be equipped with one or sev-
eral measuring and diagnosis modules, or with
a device for recording or transmitting certain
vehicle data or information. If you have also sub-
scribed to BMW Assist, certain vehicle data can

be transmitted or recorded to enable corre-
sponding services.
