I would check the state of the battery, alternator charging out put & the connections.
Also try a BSI reboot.

I thought every warning sign should come up when you start the car.

I suppose what I mean is that all the lights come up as a check when you turn the ignition on.

They don't though.
Only certain warning lights come on at the pre start check

Id get the battery checked first, my 180 would get the airbag faults when starting on very cold mornings, but they would clear if you turned it off and restarted it. New battery solved it for me.

battery drained from start up and the alternator is then charging it back up and the lights then go off. at a guess and agreeing with above.
