Vehicle Compatibility
The Lufi XS OBD2 Gauge Display is compatible with most American car brands produced after 2008, and Japanese and European car brands produced after 2005. Please note that it is generally not compatible with pure electric vehicles.
It's important to understand that most cars do not support reading oil temperature and pressure data, nor MT/AT oil temperature and pressure data. A few car brands may display this data using custom PID (Parameter ID) upgrades. For specific vehicle compatibility or custom PID data, please contact Lufi's professional engineers.

Setup and Installation
The Lufi XS OBD2 Gauge Display is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Connect the device to your car's 16-pin OBD-II interface using the provided OBD-II plug. The instrument base can be fixed on the car's center console with double-sided tape (suction cups are not included).
Upon initial setup, it is recommended to clear any existing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from your vehicle's ECU to ensure accurate readings and prevent false alarms. The device allows you to read and clear common fault codes directly.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Lufi XS will power on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. Navigate through the various display screens and settings using the buttons on the device. The intuitive interface allows you to select desired data points, customize layouts, and set alarms according to your preferences.
Understanding Displayed Data
The device reads ECU data in real-time. If your car does not have the corresponding sensors for certain data points (e.g., specific oil temperatures), those data points cannot be displayed. Refer to your vehicle's manual for available sensor data.
Clearing Fault Codes
The Lufi XS has the function to read and clear common fault codes. Access the DTCs DATA menu to view current codes or clear them. Always consult a qualified mechanic if a persistent fault code appears after clearing.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Lufi XS OBD2 Gauge Display, keep the screen clean using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the OBD-II connection remains secure and free from debris. Periodically check for available software updates to benefit from new features and improved compatibility.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Powering On: Ensure the OBD-II plug is securely connected to your vehicle's OBD-II port. Verify that your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
- No Data Displayed: Confirm vehicle compatibility (American cars post-2008, Japanese/European cars post-2005). Some data points may not be available if your car lacks the corresponding sensors. Try clearing DTCs.
- Screen Glitches or Lag: Ensure the device's software is up to date. Disconnect and reconnect the OBD-II plug.
- "Engine Power Reduced" Message (Chevy Cruze): Some users have reported this issue with specific vehicle models. Ensure the device's software is updated. If the issue persists, contact Lufi support or a qualified mechanic.
