Operation
Before first Use
Remove the trouble code reader from the packaging and dispose off packaging
material. Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy for children.
Make sure the vehicle is OBD II compliant and has 16-pin DLC (Data Link
Connector). The Vehicle Emission Control Information Label (VECI label) must
state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant.
To determine where the DLC is situated, read the vehicle's owner manual, ask
your car repair shop or surf the internet.
