DSC malfunction came and went

So i just got this car adn today as Im backing out of the driveway my DSC malfunction light came on in the I-drive screen. After driving about 500 feet it just went away.. Could this be due to my newbish 6MT driving skills? Or was it just a blip?

I have only noticed the DSC warning when I am starting on ice in the winter. Are you giving it too much throttle? Have you noticed any wheel spin or is the car jerking forward?

no this is happening when im babying the car in 1st or 2nd thru a parking lot or leaving a driveway.. and its not just DSC. Its all the suspension crap like EDC, DSC, Start assist, brake assist (or something like that). no wheel spin or jerkiness (other than that which is caused by my newb driving skills)
