hi, i hope this is in the right place!!!

having recently had an operation on my arm the car has not been driven in 6 weeks, and has been parked on my drive. i checked the car yesterday and the battery was low so it would not turn the engine over. i charged it up today and it has reached a stage where the charger is still saying 3/4 charged but the car starts now without a problem.

my issue is that now there is a yellow steering wheel symbol that has appeared on the rev counter that i have never seen before. the car has less than average mileage and was well maintained [my parents upgraded and i bought this off them].

do i need to worry? is this something that a quick drive will sort out or could it be related to the battery not being 100% fully charged?

i am not yet able to drive so will top up the battery anyway in the next day or so...

any ideas please...

[p.s. this was deffo not there while i was driving this car up till 6 weeks ago]

when the battery goes flat G85 which is the steering angle sensors losses its settings and needs to re calibrate. A short drive turning right and left stop to stop at some point and it will go out so dont panic.

Many thanks for these responses....i will top up the battery tomorrow and when i am allowed to drive i will see if that helps. will keep topping up the battery once every week till then to make sure it doesnt drop too low again.
