Manually Raise Automatic Lift?
I'm in the US and it looks like the manual raise for shocks isn't enabled. Does anyone know the status of this *dealer said its on hold due to pedestrian collision approval* or something silly?

Its called the transport height setting. It takes a couple of button presses (its in the manual). The EQS does not come with manually selectable ride height anywhere, nor is there a plan to do so. It does it automatically depending on speed and dynamic setting. Same thing with the steerinpg wheel heating, the is no switch, it activates with the seat heater. You can turn it off or on in the MBUx system but still will only activate with the seat controls.

its not a virtual button its using the steering wheel home and back button in a specific sequence. Check in the towing section of the manual. Its under preparing the vehicle for transport.

yeah the functionality is there but if you look in the manual the reference a Mnuchin button that allows you to hold it to lift or lower. The towing method isn’t practical every time I want to enter my garage.

I agree
Though the ride height of the EQS is not that low, given its very long wheel base the brakeover angle is very low. I have been surprised of scraping in situations I wasnt expecting it. Any significant speed bump requires crawling over.
