*Note: In general, vehicle identification numbers are standardized - all contain 17 characters. VIN characters may be
capital letters A through Z and numbers 1 through 0; however, the letters I, O and Q are never used in order to avoid
mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.

2. Connections & operations
Follow the steps below to proceed:
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition.
2. Connect one end of the OBD II extension cable into the OBD-16 diagnostic port of the SmartLink C device, and the
other end into the vehicle’s DLC port.
*Remarks: During the SmartLink diagnosis, especially during remote online programming, it is recommended that the vehicle
battery is connected to a charging power source. Doing so can prevent the vehicle from running out of power and failing to
start due to long diagnosis time.

the LAN port of network modem.
*Note: The network broadband of 100MB and above is required for this operation.
