Shouldn't be a problem since the lights disappeared after you restart your car. If it is permanently light up, then it indicates malfunction. But I think for your case it's ok unless it keeps happening.

Has a similar problem before, but in my case the lights did not stay on for long. It just appeared and went off at random.

The problem was caused by the loose connection at the battery terminal. Got it fixed and the problem never appeared since

Cheers

could be one of your wheel speed sensor which affects the asc, dsc, abs....

sometimes dust, mud, water or any foreign objects might be in the path of the sensors thus triggering the warning lights at start up. but once you get moving, the stuff might just fall off and when you restart the car, the sensor with a clear path will just set everything back to normal as before. SMALL PROBLEM....

Dun worry, be happy..

If you are unlucky like me, it will come on permanently after a few months of intermittent. Then you need to replace the ASC and ABS unit. Not cheap.
