The 2017 Mercedes Actros features a diagnostic socket inside the cabin. The diagnostic socket or OBD port is located within the passenger compartment.

Depending on the vehicle model, the position may vary, but for the 2017 models, the socket is placed under the dashboard on the driver's side. To use the socket, remove its cover and insert the cable, connecting it directly to the diagnostic computer.

This procedure allows you to operate electronically by resetting warning lights or checking error codes. The presence of the socket has been mandatory since the 2000s on all Mercedes vehicles and beyond.
