Trying to figure out if my GLE53 has ARC

Recently purchased a 2021 Gle53, the ride seems weird and uncomfortable like a sports car. How can I find out if I have ARC?

​​​​​​You could do so through decoding your VIN or checking the window sticker, try decoding it on lastvin or mbvin.

GLE53
For some reason those website cannot find my VIN. Maybe because I am in Canada but the car was manufactured in the states

Call MBUSA or MBcanada. They should be able to supply the information. Also, you do realize that the GLE53 is configured to be like a sports car? It’s going to be.a Harder ride than the 350 or 450.

I see, it is part of the Driver's Package in 2024, does the vehicle come equipped with that? I am not sure for model year 2021, if it was a separate option but the option code you are looking for is 465.

On the other hand, I found this thread so it might just mean the vehicle (with the VIN mentioned) does not have it: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ol-2021-a.html

OP, looks like we pretty much confirmed the aforementioned VIN does not have ARC: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ml#post8060790

MB.vin says no ARC.

Maybe it's your tires or tire pressure?
