Random pop up warnings.

[Mark604]

Slightly weird but when I turn the engine on I sometimes get a random pop up warning. Sometimes it's too fast to see what it is, sometimes one will stay on - like today it said something like "Fault with either airbag or seat belt tensioner" and the spanner light came on. I switched everything off, got out, locked the doors and left it for five minutes or so.
Tried then again and no warnings at all.

May not be related but if I put the key in the ignition and quickly start up, like you normally do and used to with 'normal' precomputer cars, a pop up seems more likely. Once it misfired on start up and all sorts of warnings came up with the rough engine. Again I did the switch off and leave it for a while then it started normally, no misfire or anything.
If I slowly turn the ignition on (taking about 2 seconds to turn it to the stop), pause and then start it I hardly ever get a pop up, maybe just once.

How do you start up? Key in, turn and start? And no problems?

I turn the key to ignition on, then I wait for all of the extra warning LEDs to go off, then I turn the key to the start position. It seems to start smoothly if I do that, and roughly with a clatter if I just go straight to start without waiting.

I'll give that variation a try as well........... thanks,

Have your battery condition checked. Too low voltage at startup can cause all kinds of on-board diagnostic module get ghost readings.

All my other cars regardless the manufacturer have done this when the battery has been weak.

I thought all K9s had keyless ignition. Mine has, so don't get the option of waiting for systems to check out before starting. Having said that I think the computer does its own pre-flight checks before operating the starter motor.

Looks like Mark has a key.

Boop, I'll keep that in mind regarding the battery. Though this last time the stop/start had been working ok and at the time of parking up the engine stopped as I pulled to a stop. I just switched off and get out, so I don't think that was the cause this time. I'd only been out the car for half and hour or so before going back to it.

Guanok, Mine is a November 2019 K9, (Citroën Berlingo Live M Pure Tech 110 M Stop&Start) if it makes a difference, no idea. But it has a key. I bought it in Germany Feb 2020 as what they call a Jahreswagen, we know it simply as a pre-registered car. The list price for a new one with the same specs was high end of 22,000 euros, maybe just into 23,000. Mine had 100km delivery mileage and was advertised at 17,700 Euro.
