Hi,

First time here.... hoping someone can help please?

I have a 2015 Levorg 1.6 (39k on the clock)..... on unlocking yesterday, car wouldn't start (totally flat)...... instrument panel flashing and clicking, so disconnected the battery, waited and jump started!
All seems fine and running okay until the following appear:
Engine mgt light, amber warning light, information light telling me handbrake see manual, s (sports) keeps flashing as does the cruise control light??

AA chap installed new battery, all reset okay and then a few moments later..... same lights appear!

Any ideals or thoughts before booking it in please?

Many thanks, Bracie

What is the new battery model ?

You'd need to make sure it has the same settings as the previous one, as well as being able to take start & stop (as this apparently gives the battery a beating...)

And a battery unable to sustain the right voltage and current to devices could cause such warning lights.

The battery is a straight replacement to the one before (definitely the right one).
I've given the car a good drive this morning and parked up for an hour. Just jumped in and all is clear...... did it require time to reset / relearn?

Fingers crossed all sorted.

Thanks for your help.
