The OBD interface of Chery A3 is located in the small storage compartment below the left side of the steering wheel.

When I used to drive a Chery A3, I often helped friends locate the OBD port, which was in the area under the driver's seat, at the very bottom of the dashboard. After getting into the car, you just need to look down, and it's roughly above the left side of the accelerator pedal. You can easily find the square-shaped port by feeling around or using a flashlight. The position is quite standard, unlike some cars where it's hidden too deep. The design is user-friendly, making it convenient to plug in diagnostic equipment to check for trouble codes anytime. I remember one time when my engine light came on, I scanned the code myself using the OBD and found it was a sensor issue, saving me a trip to the repair shop. Just be careful not to let water or debris splash into it while driving. During maintenance, technicians also use this port, and since it's easy to find, it's not much of a hassle.
