Will probably replace battery before next winter "just because." Will be interested to see if that changes anything.
I get this same warning in my '07 every time I turn on the ignition. It has been this way for years, even with the previous owner. It has had a new battery put in recently (74,000 miles), as well as a new battery years ago after the car was purchased at 26,000 miles. I just press the up arrow and it goes away. I have checked every system with my MB II, and nothing shows up that gets rid of the warning. I imagine it will take at least an Xentry system to find the underlying problem. I believe the '07 does not have an auxiliary battery like the earlier W211's. Putting a fresh aux battery on your '03-'06 W211 may fix this problem......Rich
