Exclamation DSC turns off automatically?

Hi there!

If anyone can give me his/her opinion I would very much appreciate it!

1st of all, my car is a February 08 Clubman.

I was quietly driving home on Friday, on a straight road doing 25 mph, no rain, no nothing (Alicante Spain), and suddenly I had a beep and the DSC light (exclamation mark inside a triangle rounded by and arrow) came on and stay on until I switched off the car at home (5min later) ... The sign came on at its corresponding spot at the rpm gauge and also at the digital rpm gauge screen. In this last case I am not sure if the sign had and extra exclamation mark to the right. I canīt remember of any other lights on at the same time, but I am not sure.
Of course, I did not pressed the DSC button to turn it off.

Once at home and stopped I switched off the engine and then on again, and the light has been gone since then. Car seems to be functioning as normal now .

I have been to my dealer this morning to have an explanation, but I am not yet convince at all neither with their manners (I have already place a complaint) nor with what I have been told.
The person I have talked to at my dealers, who was not a mechanic, has told me that DSC light can turn on automatically if for any reason the car decides to turn DSC off.

I have checked the manual and have not found anywhere that the DSC light can come on automatically without pressing the corresponding DSC off button. As far as I understand the DSC sign turns on blinking while DSC is acting, or remains constantly on if DSC is manually turn off.

My question is: Can DSC turn off automatically? ... and if so for what reason?
