No, most cars do that. It's like it's on-board computer checking everything before the light goes out to show everything is OK.
Don't worry about it (unless it stays on).

If they all go out once the engine's running, that's fine. The only one you should have left is the brake warning 'cos the handbrake's still on (plus the lights-on warning, if appropriate).
All the warning lights are designed to light up when you turn the ignition on, as a check that they're working, then go out on starting.

If the engine check light goes out, then there is nothing wrong.If it stays on, there there is a problem with the fuel injection system.

This is a system check, making sure all systems are operating properly. When the "dummy" lights stay on, attention is needed.
