Socket for OBD Onboard 
Diagnostics
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 under a cover on the left 
side of the driver's footwell, just under the 
instrument cluster.
Emissions values
The warning lamp lights up. Exhaust 
values are deteriorating. Have the vehi-
cle checked as soon as possible.
Under certain conditions, the indicator will flash. 
This indicates a serious rate of engine misfire. 
When this occurs, you should reduce speed 
and consult the nearest BMW Sports Activity 
Vehicle Center as soon as possible. Severe 
engine misfire even for only a short period of 
time can seriously damage emission control 
components, especially the catalytic converter.

function on Canadian models.
When the fuel filler cap is not properly 
tightened, the OBD system can detect 
the vapor leak and the indicator lamp will light 
up. If the filler cap is subsequently tightened, 
the indicator lamp should go out within a few 
days.<
Event data recorders
Your vehicle may be equipped with one or more 
sensing and diagnostic modules or a recording 
device capable of recording or transmitting cer-
tain vehicle data or information. In addition, if 
you have a Subscription Service Agreement for 
the BMW Assist system, certain vehicle infor-
mation may be transmitted or recorded in order 
to provide such services.
