Is this the old model Persona you're talking about? If so, there is an owner's thread for it on here....

It could happen for two reasons

1. The car's body control module(BCM) has a software glitch in the code which causes the light to come on even though nothing is wrong. I've seen some cars check engine lights come on but the car still runs fine so I assume it's the same root cause.

2. One of the airbag sensors might be faulty, most likely the passenger side.

Either way, you should mention this to the SC once you go for the 1000km service just to be safe.

The Persona has a drive by wire throttle system where throttle control is modulated and processed by the ECU, which inherently produces lag unlike a traditional cable throttle that has instant response.

The delay is even more present with the CVT since not only do you have the throttle lag but also the CVT clutch has to be engaged before the car starts to move. You'll notice when you press the pedal and the revs shoot up but the car's still stationery.
