Red ABC warning when I started for about 2 minutes

So my car has been sitting since Tuesday. I started it today and got "car too low" in red. Then it went away. I was also parked on uneven pavement. Where the left side sat a little higher than the right side. And I did notice the left side getting a little lower. But the abc fluid was full and clean when checked.

Was it actually low when you started it? As long as it pumps up and holds when shut off, there's not much you can do about it.

Usually, sagging when parked is due to internal valve block leakage. You can replace them with the newer design, open them up and replace all the o-rings/seals, or flush the fluid and rodeo and hope for the best,

Not uncommon to get abc warning after not being driven several days

as long as the warning goes out its ok

as stated above its likely an internal valve block leak
