It is common for stop-start systems to be disabled when the battery is past its best - still perfectly able to power the electrical systems and start the engine, but no longer able to withstand the deep discharge associated with stop-start.
The traction control warning could potentially be associated with a weak battery (assuming that you haven't accidentally pressed the traction control button), but If this problem persists, the fault memory would need interrogating to pinpoint the cause

Thanks 1.4_tsi,
I'm running the car on 13v while driving, apparently. It's booked in under warranty.
