Power Gear Electronic Levelling System

Does anyone know if after you have set up at a campsite, if you can use the Auto function on your Motorhome's Power Gear Levelling System to relevel your coach after it has settled (wet ground), without retracting all of your slides? Were recently out with our coach parked on a less than ideal site, and discovered that the coach would sag a little. I brought all 3 slides in a total of 3 times, retraced the jacks and went through the auto leveling process again. I am not sure if you can do this without causing damage on any of the components on the coach, such as the the slides, hydraulics or anything else. As I am a Newbie to the RV scene, any advise would be welcomed.
Thanks

The reason for leveling the rv first before extending the slides is because the frame can flex. If the frame flexes while the slides are out there is the potential for the slide frame to go out of square. This can cause all sorts of problems.

I would use the manual mode if it needed a little adjustment.
