Exclamation panic switch function ??

I drove with cruise control enabled and I wanted to switch it off.
So I didn't push the brake, like I normally did.
This time, I used the button on the steering wheel to disengage cruise control.

For some unknown reason, I held the button much longer than usual.
When I released the button, I was overwhelmed by red and yellow lights and all kind of messages on the dashboard.
DSC offline, engine fault ....

I pushed the gear-shift level to "N" and the RPMs were zero... so I stopped the car.
When pushed to "P", the engine started again, and I was not able to reproduce this event.

There are no error-codes to read with SDD. My battery is very healthy..

Is it possible that the ECM crashed ??
