Low Battery Notification - KaDargo - 05-01-2017 02:21pm
When I switch on, a 'low battery' notification flashes up, then quickly disappears.
The car starts ok without a hitch, and everything works (except the heated screen, typically at the moment as SWMBO is mostly using it in the mornings and is NOT happy having to scrape!)
I am assuming it's not the battery, but perhaps a software glitch and the system doesn't think there's enough power for the screen, so shuts it down.
Anyone had this before?

Check the battery voltage. The cold mornings take a lot out of the battery. Maybe more being used starting than being put back in if SWMBO is doing short journeys. Battery should be about 13.4V fully charged.

Usually the first sign of a low battery will give you a "gear box fault" message when you start the engine, or if the battery is really low on charge you will get a "traction control unavailable" message. I've not ever seen a low battery message on mine.

I have had a low battery notification when first starting up, first indication is when I get in the car and there are no interior lights. This has happened a couple of times when I have left the car in the garage for a few days and then just taken it for short journeys with heated seats etc.
A couple of times I've had a screen flash saying that the system will close down in 1 minute as I start up but then it disappears.
Connecting to a battery charger once a week has solved the problem.

Could be the DPF nearly full. Take it for a good blast to try to clear out the filter. I think you'll need to do between 20-40 miles for it to clear, as the exhaust needs to get quite hot for it to happen. Could be something else but this is worth a try.

Best to keep away from motorways as "Limited Performance" means just that!
RE: Low Battery Notification - Queenb - 03-02-2017 06:44pm
Ok i will thank you

If the system tells you that there is Limited Performance, I wouldn't take it for a good "blast". What if it is not the DPF and something is wrong with the engine?
The only advice I can give you is to take it to the nearest dealer as soon as possible.
I had the same problem, caused by a bad DPF sensor. A good "blast" wouldn't have corrected the fault message.
