Most likely the battery isn't charged up enough yet. Driving it around for 30 min and restart, I bet they disappear. I bet your speedometer and tach weren't working correctly either.

If your battery is terminally ill, maybe it's time for a replacement. Why did the battery die?

That means you got it clicking upon start,didn't you?
In the case of those lights drive the X or turn the steering wheel from one extreme to another,that should reset the lights.
Good luck!

If your battery goes flat just running the radio for a few hours then the chances are your battery is on the way out and perhaps it would be a good idea to have it checked out! The battery in the X is a large unit and, when in good condition, it should run a car radio for days without going flat...

the DSC system has lost the Steering angle sensor values, To re-calibrate the steering angle sensor on vehicles that are AWD, turn the steering wheel lock to lock.

ABS Update:

Considering all the help everyone has provided I figured I would give an update. The ABS light-on issue has bene really bad this winter, especially in the a.m. and lasting hours. I finally took it in and had them run a diagnostic, 2 issues: 1. low voltage from battery, 2. sensor recallibration - well, it worked!

That is until I started the car for the second time after leaving. Fortunately, they had me bring it back in for no charge, gave me a loaner, and found that the connector to the MID was not giving an ideal connection. They tidied all that up -

Have had no problems since, and even this a.m. when it was 20, no ABS!

Keeping them crossed for a bit but thought I'd share the little knowledge I can.
