Cabrio Stuck in Sport Mode

I have a 2012 E550 cab and Sport mode randomly comes on and I can not turn it off. On the cab, what does sport mode actually do? I know on Airmaitc cars this issue is usually a defective level sensor at one of the wheels. Any idea where to look on a cab?

I don't know if the sport mode is any different in your car, but in mine (2018 E400 Coupe) Sport mode changes the automatic transmission's shift points to a highly aggressive setting. Indeed, all of the transmission modes in my car change the shift points to match the description, ranging from old lady to drag strip.

I had the suspension sensor issue on mine... not airmatic. 2010 E550 coupe.

Search for "stuck in sports mode"
I had replied to a thread and attached pics of the sensor to look for.

If you're lucky it's the same issue. Easy fix if it's just popped out.

How did you determine which sensor it was?
