Your E550 has the Airmatic sispension. The button is located to the right of the silver knob and right below the Sport/Comfort setting. Pushing that will give you different ride heights.

It was standard in the US for 2010 and 2011. It's still standard in Canada.

When you get out of the car and you hear the "cymbal"-like hiss from the back of the car, that's your airmatic adjusting to the change in weight. You wouldn't hear sounds like that with a normal suspension.
