Those lights usually come on for a reason. I would get your dealer to run a diagnostic code reader on it and find out what is going on. It maybe something serious and it might just be nothing to worry about, but at least you will know.

Did you ever disconnected the battery? If so these lights come on. Start the engine, turn the steering wheel completely to the right and the left and back. Switchoff the engine and start again, and the messages shall be gone. If not see your dealer for a diagnosis.

Does your ABS light come on

recently required service, received Airmatic, ESP and BAS warnings. These systems are all related to each other and they turn off when a problem is detected

Result: airmatic control arm sensor I beleive was the culprit. Replacing that allowed everything else to work properly
