Default Warning lights: engine / airbag / roof / pedestrian system

Love my Jaguar xk convertible however at random warning lights show. Is below normal? Thank you so much in advance!

>Engine light: When it’s very cold outside and I start the car the orange engine symbol lights up. The warning message says: 'restricted performance’. After a while driving the warning goes away. . Is this normal?

>Roof light: Next to the button that operates the roof is a little light that shines orange indicating a fault. Garage checked and fixed something on the roof. However the light still goes but only when my headlights are on. Is that normal?

>Airbag: Recently a few times at random the passenger ‘airbag off’ light lit up randomly and was off randomly. Is this normal?

>Check pedestrian system: This lights up at rare random moments. Is this normal?

PLEASE NOTE: Almost ALL symptoms like this are caused by low battery voltage. You need to replace your battery and to fit a battery maintainer (CTEK is the preferred brand). You will find that there is nothing wrong with the Jaguar - it is all down to a battery below optimal voltage. The symptoms are exactly those your describe plus many others.
Once you have a new battery a battery maintainer will keep it at full charge always; you will have no further problems.

I think that's just the ambient night lighting for the center console since it only comes on when the headlights are activated.

Correct; from the owner's manual:

The centre console area is illuminated by a small lamp from the overhead console. This is on whenever the side lamps are on and can be controlled by the dimmer switch.

110% sure you either need to charge or replace your battery. This car is the most sensitive to voltage I've ever experienced in my life.



Orange light is for console illumination.

Check with your dealer there's a factory recall for a software upgrade to fix odd warning lights. Mine had similar issues.
