Dashboard message to visit workshop w/ picture of battery

Wondering if it is on a timer or schedule, or if it detects a problem. I got a new battery recently.

Your battery are okay but you may have an alternator/generator problem, it's not charging back electricity to the battery. That's the common interpretation of that battery warning light on the dash...

I have a 97 benz E320. My car is not holding a charge. The alternator and battery are fine. It drains the battery. All of the lights go on on the dashboard and flicker. The alarm horn was even going off while I was driving.

SOURCE: Mercedes Benz C180 Fault Message Brake Assist.Visit Workshop BAS

Hi there

BAS is the Brake Assist System and if there is a malfunction it would only come into play in an Emergency stop while applying full pressure. BAS applies full braking force because people tend to lighten up their pressure on the pedal in these situations. I would suggest that the best thing to do is go to a Workshop or Service Center and have it checked out. Please remember to put a good rating on my profile.

Kind regards

SOURCE: Service Brake message

Hello, You probably have brake pads that are worn down to the sensors. You will need to take it to whomever does your repairs. It could be either the front or rear pads or both.

If you find this info to be correct, please enter a (fixya) rating
Thanks, Gator241

This is normally a low voltage from the alternator condition. Hook a voltmeter to the battery and note the reading. Should be 11.6vdc to 12.2vdc. Start the car, after a minute or so it should be around 13 to 14 vdc., if not then the alternator may be bad

I just wondering that my car is 2008 renault megane cc, The problem is If put in the key card, 'card not detected' message on the dashboard.

This is a very common problem with the key cards. Have a look at the Renault forums website and you will see. There are some fixes that you can do for free, but worse case scenario is a new card and they are expensive.
