Suspension Lifter Help

How do I enable the suspension lifter? Spent half hour going thru every menu and option I can find, searched the online manual within MBUX, even looked thru the actual PDF manual from MB, and still can't find it. My car is definitely optioned with it. (2022 SL55 Performance). I'd call my dealer but they are closed on Sundays.

My little 2019 SL450 has a very convenient button on the center console. I just press it and the car raises or lowers. Buttons, switches and knobs: the way features on real sports cars are supposed to be controlled.

Look for the "Car" symbol button below the screen and select "Lift" from the screen that opens up. It will also show a representation of the lift process on the main driver front facing screen with a flashing arrow when it is raising and a solid arrow after it is up. You can go inside the app and make the GPS saved position either a manual process or automatic for every time you raise it. There is some criteria for it lowering after you drive off, reach 40 MPH I think. It takes 5 seconds or so to raise so wait until the arrow is solid and you can check your front position visually by changing to the front camera view.

MB recently used beautiful, brushed, silver metal trim, as shown here in my 2019 SL450. It never shows any dust or fingerprints. But I’m sure the young bucks at MB feel that black is cool and they just HAVE to be so cool, right? That and I’m sure the black plastic is way cheaper. OK, now you guys can tell me they made the change to save weight. Yeah, right!
