It is called something along the lines of Free Riding Assist if I recalled correctly, it is in the vehicle settings if you have E.ABC (E-Active Body Control) suspension optioned.www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYYyy8bVSQg

Yeah, that's a part of the very rare e-active body control option.

My Maybach has it. It's officially called Recovery mode, part of E-ABC's Off-road Assist. The YouTube video above is not as it comes from the factory; it only goes up and down on all four corners simultaneously.

To enable it, RTFM as usual:
Requirements:
R the vehicle is stationary.
R the vehicle is set to off-road level 1 or 2
R the Off-road or Off-road Plus (only vehicles with Off-road package) drive program has been selected
R the ignition is switched on
R all doors and the hood are closed
R the transmission is not engaged in position P
R there is no trailer coupled
R the vehicle is outdoors
R the detected lateral inclination of the vehicle must not exceed approx. 15°
R the system is within its operating temperature
R the on-board voltage is sufficiently high
Multimedia system:
Settings > Assistance > Offroad Assistant

Recovery mode
Recovery mode assists the driver when pulling away on rough terrain, such as sand or snow.

Select Recovery Mode.
Select Start.
Recovery mode is activated.

Select Stop to stop recovery mode.
Recovery mode is automatically deactivated in the following situations:
R you are actually traveling faster than 9 mph (15 km/h)
R after a running time of 30 seconds
R it is detected that an object has hit the under-body of the vehicle hard
R not all conditions are met

I mean Free Driving Assist, but can't complain about a free ride I guess.
