You might have pushed wheel level sensors past their normal operating point by manipulating the height this way. Codes should be read with ISTA or good diagnostics tool to reveal the cause of CC messages.

As Raimo5 said, I think you have a setting that is beyond the range of the level sensor.
I had the same abnormal display last week when I tried setting both front and rear 60mm lower than standard.
Depending on the road surface conditions or if lowering rods are installed, a lower value may be indicated.
This is a test to see how far the car can be lowered, and I am still using the standard ride height for my comfort.
If you set the value as measured, the anomaly will likely be resolved, and you can make small adjustments from there.

Thanks for the reply guys, how do you set individual settings within modes?
Just got home from work so will see what I can do re warnings and maybe take a pic of the errors in ista

Sorted it by changing adjustment back to the 690 range, car still low, height adjustment works to get over hump in driveway.
Thanks all
