What is the reason for the Mercedes-Benz C prompting to start the engine and referring to the user?

When the dashboard displays the message "Start the engine, refer to the user manual," it indicates an issue with the car battery that requires inspection, and a text message will also be received. The battery's charge is being depleted: If the owner frequently uses the car for short trips or often turns off the engine to listen to music or the radio—for example, driving twice a day with each trip not exceeding 5 kilometers—the distance is too short to fully charge the battery. As a result, the battery's charge is continuously being used up without sufficient replenishment. It is recommended to drive more on weekends. Drive more: For the issue of each trip being too short, the only solution is to drive more daily. When the car is to be parked for an extended period, it is advisable to purchase a charger and charge the vehicle overnight.
