Hi guys, got a 69 plate C300D premium plus and on some occasion when pressing the start butting the engine doesn’t fire up straight away, it says please wait and you can here something trying to kick in, I resolve the issue by locking and unlocking a few times and it then fires straight up, any ideas as it’s still within warranty and didn’t want it to be anything major further down the line? Thanks Ryan

What condition is the battery in? if <12.4V at rest (engine off) it could do with a charge / replacement

could just be the fuel system priming which may take longer if the battery is lacking juice.
Is this a recent issue.
