● EU: 2001 (gasoline) or 2004 (diesel)

2.1 Attach the Adapter to your car’s OBD2 port
● Locate the OBD-II diagnostics connector in your car
Search for 16-pin D-shaped connector that will match the adapter. The
connector should be located in or near the dashboard close to the steering
wheel. Typical place for the socket is the compartment under the driver’s side
dashboard.
● Plug in the adapter
After you have located the diagnostic connector, plug in the adapter. Make
sure the adapter is tightly attached but don’t use too much force.
● Turn ignition key to the ‘ON’ position or start the engine
The adapter should have some LEDs blinking. Note that some older adapter
models might not have any lights. If the adapter has on/off switch, make sure
it is turned on.
