Check engine light , airbag light and DSC light

These three lights are on after replacing the battery i have driver around 40km after replacing the battery and switched the car on/off several times but they wont go away , and i have noticed the the dsc is not working because the car does try to drift when i turn at around 60km/h and when i give it some revs and get off the clutch fast the rear wheels spin , the light which indicates that the car is slipping is also on.

the airbag light flashes 3 times and stays on.

I checked the passenger side airbag and there is a tear above where the airbag should come out like this



Any advice on why these lights are on and why there is a spit above the airbag?

the car has been parked for over 4 months. i got the oil changed , but not the oil filter and got new fuel + 50ml of 2 stroke oil mixed in the fuel (full tank)

If you have replaced the battery you will need to reset the steering - From memory you will need to start the car and turn your steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right

turn off the engine and restart (From memory but there should be something in the manual about it.

Airbag won't be fixed by that
