My car is AWD. Today I was driving in a deep snow track, in Traction+ mode. At some point I had to leave the track, but that proved quite problematic and the car had to struggle for a bit. In the process I started receiving a bunch of service messages, along with the good old "Drive Mode Unavailable" one.

These messages persisted after turning off the car, so now I get them every time I turn it on, and I'm stuck in auto mode, can't switch to anything else. Here's the list of the messages, in the order of their appearance:

Service Hill Hold Control
Service ESC System
Dynamic Steering Torque Service Required

I guess I have to go to the service, but before that I'd like to know what I can possibly expect. Any ideas? I'm rather concerned.

Weirdly enough, the messages disappeared earlier this evening, just like that. Everything works fine now. Still gonna do the checkup though, just to be safe.

On most Fiats, these messages mean the battery is on it's way out. I don't know if this still applies to the 500x but it's a place to start...

Maybe, if they would appear out of the blue, but these messages kinda seemed relevant.
