I don't have button my car, but accidentally found that when you remove the chassis relay at the front SAM ja and jump the relay pins 30 and 87, it starts the pump and raises the suspension to correct height. However, I don't know will it set any codes doing like that, but electrics on my car are a big mess so I didn't really care (can't turn the key, EIS has some issue).

It's the smaller relay next to that amber switch:

Upon talking with Insurance company tell them your car is sitting low, request they provide a tow company that will have a "toe dolly"under the wheels/car. It wouldn't be the first time they had to move a vehicle in that position.
