Default Uneven Drop w/ DataSystem Controller

So I installed this DataSystem Controller & Harness on my 09 460L and started messing with the settings since I couldn't read the Japanese operations manual.

I figured out the Memory setting based on the various levels of height but I noticed that not all 4 corners are the same height. The driver side front is about 1 inch higher than the rest. I think I screwed this up by adjusting the levels on my driveway instead of a level surface like the garage.

Can someone please help me fix this? Is there away to reset this thing?

Put it on even ground and raise it all the way up..then drop it to your desire setting. My driver front corner is about 1/4 higher then then passenger. I notice that it drops a little more after driving.

you can also adjust ride height for the 2 sides of the front axle independently, i think, to compensate for issues like that. not exactly sure how -- i don't have the controller in front of me at the moment

I think i figured it out after playing with the controller a little more. I can't get the back even though. It looks like you can only put different levels for the front. The rears have to be the same...unless someone can show me how.

I corrected that uneven height with the controller. Like rominl mentioned, the rear raises and lowers together and the front is independent.
