Default To low

Is it possible to lower a C5 to low where the active handling warning comes on?

I wouldn't see how the two things could be related.

Lowering the car has nothing to do with it. I just put back to standard height it was a coincidence. What would make SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLIND come on. Was fine up intell 2day when i went to drive it. Car drives fine,but after i turn off leave the car, come back and take off SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING come on and the little yellow car light stays on intell i turn off car .
