The 2 rearmost (intermediate & rear) jacks on each side share a common hydraulic source - that ensures they're loaded equally. Watch them come down when you start leveling - the one closest to the pump (the intermediate jack) will usually start dropping first, followed by the rear jack. By sharing a common hydraulic supply, the intermediate and rear jack on a given side are self-compensating - if the front of the 5th wheel is raised, the rear jack (being just behind the wheels) will compress only slightly, and the intermediate jack (being in front of the wheels) will extend slightly, keeping the pressure between the 2 jacks balanced. That's why there's no "intermediate" button - just front and rear jacks, and the intermediate jacks are part of the rear jack system.
No, you have nothing to worry about when returning the 5th wheel to the "unhitch" position.
