The storage compartment below the headlight switch, open it and look at the lower left position. The Qoros 3 is a model produced by Qoros Auto, which made its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show. In terms of body dimensions, the Qoros 3 measures 4615mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm. OBD interface locations for other models: The OBD interface in a car is generally located below the left side of the dashboard. The exact position varies by model; some are above the accelerator pedal, while others are in front of the gear lever. Function of the OBD interface: OBD, also known as On-Board Diagnostics, can monitor the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle during operation. By connecting the car's OBD interface to a computer, real-time vehicle data can be viewed and faults can be detected, providing convenience for car repairs, developing vehicle-related functions, and modifying car equipment.
I remember driving the Qoros 3 for several years, and the OBD interface is located under the dashboard, behind a plastic cover on the lower left side of the steering wheel. I often connect a scanner to it myself to check fault codes, such as when the engine warning light comes on. You can easily see the rectangular port by simply prying open the cover. The position is quite thoughtful, not far from the knees, so you don’t have to bend over much. When I first got the car, I fumbled around for a while, but later learned it’s a standard location—basically, all cars have their OBD ports near the driver’s seat for easy access. However, veteran owners warned me not to plug and unplug the interface too frequently, as the contacts can oxidize and fail over time. Regular diagnostics can prevent small issues from escalating, like emission system alerts, and it’s safer to operate when the car is turned off. If there’s dust on the interface, just clean it with a cotton swab—it won’t affect performance.
