What’s the best way to get the harness off, I see the white clip on the backside of the harness and flipped it up but was unable to pull it up, I don’t want to break anything so I didn’t go further. What’s the best way to get this off.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
The clip that slides off the connector has a white small sliding piece on top of it, you slide that white piece back/away a bit (about 1 to 2 mm) with your finger nail and when it is slid out you press down (not up) on it and then pull the connector off.

Practice flicking the accelerator pedal a short distance but with high-ish velocity. You will be able to command a transmission downshift repeatably and achieve better drivability in comfort mode. It takes some getting used to, to drive this powertrain, compared with other vehicles.
Just to contribute on this thread, I have 2016 gle400 and I have been doing as Chassis suggested. In normal cases where I don't need the power I just push the pedal until the car moves but when in the highway I do a fast push to the pedal and it deliver the needed power directly. I like the sound of the engine at that moment
