They think that having the traction and abs notification on in the driving conditions I was in (wet, lots of corners, higher speeds) was normal, and that the car pre-selected this driving option (i.e. also turning off cruise control and options for other drive types (i.e. traction off, sports VSC (and for those with GTS 'sports' and 'snow')).
If this happens to you - the notifications coming on means that the car is letting you know (additional?) traction and ABS is ON - it does not mean that there is a fault to be checked. After the driving conditions improve, and you have turned the car off for 1 min and back on the car should take these notifications off. If not, then there might be something wrong.
I said that I did not noticed any different handling but they said it couldve been such a tiny change that I did not notice the difference (which is most likely true being asian, young and female LOL).
Car is a.o.k and smarter than I thought.

I'm sorry but you were fed a bunch of baloney. The ABS and traction control lights come on to indicate a fault in the system. The cruise control wasn't working due to the same fault; either a wheel speed sensor or some other component was not functioning properly and triggered those lights. If the lights went off on their own the fault was temporary, and the next time the car did a self-check everything was working properly and therefore the lights did not come back on.
