The OBD port on the Ford Mondeo Zhisheng is located beneath the driver's seat. There is a storage compartment that can be pulled open to reveal the diagnostic connector inside. OBD is a detection system extended for automotive fault diagnosis. The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards, and it will issue an immediate warning if they do. The Ford Mondeo Zhisheng has a length of 4854mm, a width of 1886mm, and a height of 1495mm, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. It features front-wheel drive, with an independent MacPherson front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension system. The Mondeo Zhisheng is equipped with a 2.3L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember driving the Mondeo Zhisheng several times, and I've got some experience finding the OBD port. Generally, it's hidden on the driver's side, under the dashboard to the lower left of the steering wheel. You can see it by bending down from your seat, right at the junction between the dashboard and the center console. It's usually a gray rectangular socket with a small cover. Lift the cover, and you can plug in the diagnostic scanner. The OBD port is used to read the car's fault codes, like checking why the engine warning light is on. If you really can't find it, I suggest using a flashlight to look into the corners and gently feel around—don't pull hard to avoid damaging the wiring. Some older models might have it slightly differently positioned, but it's mostly here. Keep it covered when not in use to stay dry and prevent dust from affecting the connection. I often use it myself to check emission data—pretty handy. Just be patient, and you'll definitely find it.
