1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a control module, a signal to perform a vehicle leveling process using an electronically controlled suspension of a vehicle;
in response to receiving the signal:
assessing, by the control module and based on data received from a position sensor built into the vehicle, a roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle as parked;
sending, by the control module and based on the assessed roll angle and pitch angle of the vehicle, signals to adjust an electronically controlled suspension of the vehicle to reduce the roll angle or the pitch angle so that the vehicle is level as parked; and
transmitting data to present information related to the vehicle leveling process in a graphical user interface.
