Check your battery!  If the battery is aging you will often get this error message.  It's completely spurious and is frequently a sign of a failing battery.  It is very important when starting the car to let all the warning lights complete their cycles before cranking.  That makes sure the dozens of modules all boot up correctly.

I turned mine off as its bloody annoying!!!
(You could ask the mech to do it but unlikely to do so due to litigation nation..)
Can also pop up when you get a spike on the system, for example 3rd party Xenon ballasts etc..
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
