Suspension parking height adjust

I have a Jeep Overland that is a fantastic vehicle with amazing bells and whistles for being a 2012...Adaptive cruise control, dipping rear view mirrors, heated and vented seats, automatic highbeams and wipers...and automatic ride height system. It's cool to drive down the highway and a message pops up on the dash that says "aerodynamic ride height". I also like it that when I park, if I hit the suspension park button, the Jeep will lower so that it is easier to exit and enter the vehicle.
Now, with my GLC43, there is a button on the center console on the bottom right for the air suspension, that will raise the suspension...but there's no button up front to LOWER the suspension...*BUT* there *IS* a button in the back, in the cargo area that lowers the Mercedes....Is there any way to get this functionality up front where I can actually use it? And why doesn't the GLC43 tell me when it's lowering the vehicle at highway speeds? It's supposed to lower automatically at speeds above 60mph...but honestly, I don't really notice that and would appreciate a little message telling me it's doing it...

Other them having a kid that can crawl over to the trunk and press it, I'm not aware of any.

I've heard that you can lower the car with some kind of switch in the rear compartment. Where is that switch? I have a 2021 63 and a 2023 43, and I'm unable to locate it.

Thanks.

Its on the left side inside the trunk where you have the button to drop the rear seats. At least in my 2021 GLC 43 Coupe

Oh, I see. I thought both of those controls were for the rear seats. So how is that button supposed to work. I have a hard time seeing what's going on because the lowering and raising of the car's suspension is nearly imperceptible...does pushing the button oncce lower the car to Sport+ mode, and pushing again raises it to Comfort level? Or something else altogether different?
