Warning lights on hot days in sun.

Looking for expert advice on my 2016 V6S convertible that I have owned for 2 years. I only drive car on nice days when I can get some good backroad time with top down, otherwise in my garage. On 3 different occasions, after being in sun with top up on a pretty hot day, ~85 F or above, car above 100 when I get in, I've had some odd warning lights. Twice I've had an airbag warning, the air bag light as if there is a problem with it. Yesterday after being in the sun, I had an odd issue where the top would not go up or down, after working fine at the start of the drive. Without pressing roof switch, the car would make a ding sound and say roof latched, but then as I would drive I would get a quick warning that I was going too fast put the top down even though I was not trying to put the top down. I tried to get see my alerts in the menu section but couldn't. The warnings happened so fast, I could not get to warning menu as the menus would reset with each new warning.
All issues have resolved after sitting overnight again in my garage. I doubt the dealer can do anything about it since everything is better now (still under warranty). I assumed there was a slightly suspect air bag connection/relay that was heat sensitive since I've had that issue twice. But with the roof, it could mean a wider issue. However, I have no idea what it could be since I assume the air bag electronics are separate from roof mechanisms.
These issues do not happen every time in the hot sun.
Any thoughts?
