Unable to put car in RS mode? A little help please.

Hi, I do not know what I am doing wrong on my new 2013 SL63 AMG? Car is in sport mode suspension as the manual says but the selector will not let me move to RS mode? I read the car must be warmed up but even after 20 min of driving still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
