try turning your steering wheel all the way left then right and back to center, that should clear all the lights. If not then you need to disconnect your battery cable.

Basically, treat those lights just like the check engine light. It can be caused by a number of things and would need diagnosis to know what the culprit is.

Arrow Thanks for all the suggestions & fixes....

I tried the steering thing (L&R) battery disconnect...no luck!
I guess off to the dealer to run the code and see what the deal is...
Cheers!
