Yeah, the engine light is on. I'll check the battery cable connections, thanks! If that's not it, could it be a bigger engine fault? And how would I check that?

Could be an engine fault, but honestly, those battery connections are sneaky. If the light is still on after checking them, best bet is to get a proper engine diagnostics check at a workshop. They can pinpoint the exact issue with the engine software.

Thanks for the tip! It was indeed the battery cable connections, they were loose. Cleaned them up, tightened them, and it started right away. Cost me 155€ at the shop to get it sorted. Appreciate the help!

Hey! Had similar weirdness with mine once. Does the engine light come on at all? Have you checked the battery cable connections? Sometimes a bad connection can cause all sorts of issues, especially with hybrids and their sensitive engine software.
