My 11 months old Cross TA was towed to the dealer last week. Kept giving all sorts of warnings in the display like Hill Start not available, fuel cut off not available, 4x4 not available etc. It has been doing it on and off for the past month but has always started. Switching off and restarting always cleared the display warnings. However, this time, after a myriad of warnings the car refused to start. I left it overnight and it started perfectly OK next morning. My dealer just phoned to say they have cleared all the fault codes and tracked it down to low oil pressure. As the car has done under 5000 miles I don't quite see it.
How can a low oil level cause these warnings and why would the car have used so much oil in 5k of normal driving? Is the dealer giving me bull?
If it happens again, is there a way of starting the vehicle other than having to wait several hours for it to clear? I read somewhere that turning the ignition on and off ten times would do the trick but it didn't work for me. I know I could disconnect the battery but as I am of the fairer sex, it's not something I'd like to attempt in a busy car park! Any help would be appreciated.
