Please note that the diagram is upside down with respect to the photo example. The fuses numbered 456, 457, 458, which are located at the bottom right (blue), are responsible for the cigarette lighters.
Another high power fuse box can be installed next to the battery or in the engine compartment.

That’s all. And if you have something to add to the material, for example, the purpose of a relay or just want to share your experience, write in the comments.
You offer a great service with these notes and photos. Do you have a fuse list specific to the Mercedes S213 (the estate version of the W213). I’m looking for the fuse for the rear seat fold-down release, as that’s stopped working on mine.
Just to check, you’ve not got a seat belt (like a dog harness) plugged in? This will stop the fold-down from working. Found out the hard way!
Hi, can u pls tell me is there a fuse or relay for the exhaust flap actuator and if so we’re to find it.??? (E220d w213) cheers.
Hi Dave, did you ever fins out what was wrong? I have the same problem on my S213.
Hi there, Any insight as to which fuse positions are always on vs switching on and off when the car is started/stopped? I went through all the fuses in the passenger footwell as well as the side of the dash and when the car is off, I’m getting 12v out of all of them.
In the trunk I notice several fuses missing that should be there; for example between 400-417; the diagram says only 410 should be empty but the pic shows several missing. Why is that? Or should those fuses actually be put back in there according to the diagram?
Horn fuse mising this is not a goos diagram
