Why does the right display screen of the Mercedes-Benz CLA show low voltage?

[RosalieRose]

The battery voltage has fallen below the operating conditions of the controller, requiring a recharge, and the system will display "undervoltage." Generally, immediate charging will resolve the issue. Solutions for low car battery voltage: Start the vehicle and listen for a hissing sound from the engine. If present, it indicates the battery is low on power, and timely charging is required; test whether the car battery and alternator are functioning properly. If either is damaged, prompt replacement is necessary; if the car displays low battery voltage but starts normally, no action is needed as this is a normal condition. Methods for maintaining a car battery: Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods; avoid repeatedly starting the vehicle without intervals; start the car periodically to maintain sufficient battery charge; regularly inspect battery components and connecting wires; avoid using car electronics after the engine is turned off.

I remember my Mercedes-Benz CLA also had a low voltage warning displayed on the right screen once, which really gave me a scare. Common causes include battery aging—after a few years of use, the original battery's capacity to hold a charge diminishes, making it prone to show low voltage. Another issue could be the alternator; if the charging system fails, the battery can't be fully charged, especially noticeable during short trips or prolonged parking. The Mercedes-Benz CLA has many electronic devices like screens, audio systems, and lights that consume a lot of power, and it can also experience parasitic drain if left idle for too long. The solution is to check the battery voltage as soon as possible—it should be around 12.6 volts normally. If it's lower, replace the battery or inspect the alternator. In my case, replacing the battery fixed the issue. For safety, don't ignore it, or you might risk sudden stalling on the road. Daily precautions like avoiding long-term parking can help prevent this problem.

This low voltage warning is quite common in Mercedes-Benz, mostly due to battery or charging system issues. First, check the battery voltage - it should be above 12.6V when fully charged. If it drops below 12V, the battery is failing. Possible causes include expired battery life or a loose/damaged alternator belt preventing proper charging. The Mercedes CLA has numerous electronic modules (like screens and control systems) that drain power quickly, so always remember to turn off lights and electronics when parked. We recommend professional inspection - don't attempt DIY repairs as short circuits could cause bigger problems. For daily use, take longer drives to allow the alternator to recharge the battery, which extends its lifespan. A simple multimeter test is sufficient for voltage checks - convenient and safe.

I was really nervous when the low voltage warning appeared on my CLA's screen. A friend said it might be because the battery is almost dead. Simply check if the battery connections are loose or dirty—this is a common issue with Mercedes cars. Another reason could be if the vehicle has been parked for too long, the alternator might not be able to charge the battery. It's recommended to start the engine and take a short drive to see if it charges. If that doesn't work, call a mechanic. Don't delay on safety to avoid the car breaking down halfway.
