Strange messages....
Searched and could not find what i was looking for 
For the past few weeks i have been getting messages pop up in my info screen. They inc things like "Left brake light" "Right side marker" ect. I have checked every notice that came up and all seems to be fine. They go away when i get In my car next time, but almost always pop back up at some time. Is this something i should be concerned with? What is causing the notices when everything is working? I still have a few months warranty remaining, is it worth a trip to the dealer?
Sorry to be a pain, but this is driving me nuts, thanks for the help.

Just disconnect and check all yor bulbs to see if theyre blown and make harness are secure. Also see if fuses are blown. If all is ok use your warranty and get it fixed.

I'd agree with fister.
During the last few months of your warranty, anything is worth getting checked out - you don't want to leave anything hanging out there that may cost you money after it's expired.

This usually happens when bulbs are about to die as their power draw slowly drops till they burn out one day. But if this is happening across multiple lights/bulbs, its clearly a connection issue (harnesses etc), or your SAM is starting to fritz out.
DEFINITELY WORTH A TRIP TO THE DEALER, especially if its the latter.

Thanks for all the reply's, it's really the only issue i have with the car. I'll make an appointment at the dealer seeing as how it's still under warranty. Justt irritating to get 2 or 3 messages when driving

I have a similar issue where I get an error for the driver side mirror turning signal even though it works. Happens from time to time, when I do make a left turn the blinker in the dashboard starts blinking rapidly for a second then normally. The error message disappears after using the left turning signal.
What might be the problem here?
