The “button for driver assistance system is defective” is telling us the start button is not allowing power to the various electrical systems. I would check all fuses first with this guide:

Here is how to change out the start button and the fuse panel locations as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Okay, that makes sense, we only have info for US cars but I can still help. Here is what they show for the manual ignition switch which is what I would change first and then clear the codes. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
