Some ELM327-based adapters v2.1 made in China sometimes do not follow specifications, so we cannot guarantee app's full functionality with them.

The "Reference info" section contains free descriptions of 70 most common dashboard warning lights and indicators, towing rules, wheel replacement and tire repair procedures, as well as ways of jump-starting your car with a discharged battery. After purchasing one of the "Warning-lights-and-indicators" plugins, you will know the meaning behind several dozen additional dashboard lights and get recommendations on what to do if an indicator turns on.
