Had a bit of a mild heart attack this morning when I started the car and it bonged at me, with the yellow exclamation mark at the top of the dash. Went into Car Status on the main screen to see

AFL Error
Cornering Light Error
Front Left Headlight Error
Front Right Headlight Error

I thought WTF !, Turned the car back off then on again, and all's well, with all warning lights off and the "Car Status" screen reported no errors. No sure what caused that, just a software glitch ?

Are all the above lights working correctly including the dynamic cornering lights? If so could just be a glitch. How old is your battery ?

Yes, the lights were working even with the error on screen ? All sorted when I turned the ignition off and back on again and no errors remain, and everything works as it should, and no errors when I just used the car at lunchtime.

Re the battery, the car is only 10 months old.

Hopefully just a glitch. I’d say forget about it, enjoy the car and look into it further if it happens again!

I had this too on mine one morning when it was about a year old. I did exactly as you did and I haven’t seen it since. It scared the sh!t out of me too at the time!!

Not sure where the topic with the car mats went but someone provided a link to some 'clubsport' mats on eBay - can anyone spot the difference between the ones on eBay and the ones I received?

The first two pictures are from the seller.
