Hi All,
Had "start prevented try again" message on DIM display appear twice this morning.Car had no problems starting and was/is running as normal.any ideas what could have caused this or any potential issues that could be coming up?

try your other key for a while and see if the message comes up again ... possibly faulty key .. or the antenna ring around the ignition switch if both keys do the same ..

The other "cure" for this is to ensure you remove any other "proxy fobs" from your key, and also remove any other keys from your car key.... Swede's tend not to hang tons of stuff from their keys apparently....
