The next day dealer rings me tells me that the light on the dashboard is gone itself and everything seems fine. When I was driving the power was low and the car went into power saving mode disabling most of the features in the car with airbag, ABS and other lights on. Contacted the dealer and because of festive session mechanic is on holiday and asked to wait for a few days. After changing a new battery car started ok with no errors in the dashboard and when he checked the alternator seem to be working fine. When asked about engine light he said "there is an error code which says fuel is too fine I was using supreme 98 so this could cause the engine light to popup " and asked me to use different fuel something like 91 or 95 haven't heard that better fuel is sometimes bad for car before.
