Where is the OBD interface of the Lavida located?

The OBD interface of the Lavida is located under the steering wheel in the main driver's compartment, near the knee area. You need to open the cover panel to see it. The Lavida is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with the following body dimensions: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The drive system is front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
The OBD interface of the Lavida is usually located below the steering wheel on the left side, near the driver. When I first bought the car, I was curious and searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Later, I crouched down and carefully looked under the steering wheel, where there was a small plastic cover. A gentle press or push opens it, revealing the interface inside. The position is designed very ergonomically, not affecting legroom and ensuring it doesn't get bumped while driving. I usually connect a Bluetooth OBD tool to my phone app to monitor fuel consumption and engine status in real time. New drivers might be a bit confused when looking for it the first time, but once you get used to it, you'll find it really convenient. Don't forget to check it regularly to prevent dust buildup that could cause poor contact.
