It's not a Cig Socket, So, I'm only guessing.... might have something to do with a computer that connects to this when your mechanic is servicing the vehicle.

if you have a handbook for it - it should tell you. Otheriwse go online to the Merc homepage and send them the pic by email and ask them......

certainly doesn't look like a standard plug in for a computer readout, they are usually under the dash/ instrument panel and one in the engine compartment.

Reminds me of an "S" connector socket on a Hi-Fi unit.

Hi it's definitely the plug for the computer The mercedes has a round one your friendly Mercedes stealership will plug into it when servicing your vehicle.

Looks like a Deutsch, Cannon, Amphenol style connector like we used on aircraft.

It's a 14-pin OBD connector:
