Default 05 XJR sitting uneven after being parked on a slope

So my XJR is currently sitting low on the driver side, particularly the rear, and high on the right side from where I parked it on a slope in that direction for a few days. However, after moving it back to flat ground, it doesn’t seem to be correcting itself. I haven’t driven it since but only moved it around the driveway. No error lights.

I would have thought it would have returned to normal on startup?

Try a slow drive on a side street.

Guess I freaked out prematurely. Went for a couple mile drive and it’s back to normal.

I am new to CATS, so I will ask this question before perusing technical manuals:
In terms of measurement from center of weel hub to eyebrow of the fender how much difference between driver side and passenger side is considered UNEVEN?
I would guess the computational error in algorythm can be somewhat significant considering tolerances accuracy of sensors and fact that there is only ONE sensor on front end. The one thing that goes for accracy is calibration step.

Not sure but this was dramatically uneven. Like the rear corner was sunk.
