Default RO: ESP/ABS warning for a split second?

Hello everyone, first time starting the car in about 4 days I've noticed this warning related to stability control, it was there right when I started the car for a brief moment (3 seconds at most I think). Now its gone and I drove around 100 km with no apparent issues, is there reason to be concerned? What"s the deal with these self-healing warnings, could low battery cause these issues? I have to mention that the car was outside and it was quite cold these days, temps even dropping to -8c at night. Temp was around -1c when I started the car. Anyone experienced this? Thanks in advance!

From my experience, every once in a while, strange/unexplained/hard to interpret messages pop up in the first few seconds of starting the car. If there is a true problem, the warning will stay on. If it disappears after a few seconds or it only happens every once in a while, it is safe to ignore it.

Thanks for the reply, that's reassuring. I will ignore it for now, hopefully won't happen again in the future.
