Re: Complete power failure

Battery light has nothing to do with deep sleep. Battery light on whilst driving is indicating a charging fault. Get it checked out by a dealer.

No. Dismissing your service reminder has nothing to do with your battery light fault coming on.

Get the fault codes read by the dealer for repair.

Re: Puma 2020 -charging system service now warning

Key cycle or sleep can heal the car sometimes but you should get the codes read to see what went offline. Remember once that message is shown you have whatever charge is in the 12 volt battery until the engine stops. So if it happens again turn off all consumers and get home or to dealers if you can.

Re: Engine management light

Probably O2 sensor gone or its wiring. Cost isn't much if not under warranty.
