Raised level

Just got my SL63 so learning all the controls.

Activating the raised level seems to involve up to 6 right arrows to find the assist menus, two up to get to vehicle raise and then two OKs to raise. The non-AMG model needs one press of a button!
is there a quick way to way to raise the vehicle? Or am I just going to have to get quicker with my fingers.

Watching with interest - my 2017 SL63 also has no console control. And the multiple clicks is annoying to get through the local Target parking lot speed humps!

'94 SL600,'05 SL600,'06 S65,'07 E63,'14 E63S,'09SL600 all sold, ‘15 S65,‘18 E63S,'17 SL65, '17S65Cab
I drive my SL65 with the AMG data screen displayed. From that screen it is four left arrows, one up arrow, then two “ok” pushes and the car is raised. One more “ok” lowers the car then four right arrows to get back to the AMG data display. Not sure if the raised suspension can be programmed into the “individual” setting on the console, never tried it.
