SL63 AMG
Reduced Braking Power Start Engine

Hi there, I have a 2009 SL63 AMG and when I get into the car I see written in red on the dashboard cluster "reduced braking power start engine". The sign goes away once I start the car and the brakes seem fine. Although these days I feel the car doesn't start as well or quick as it used to, any ideas guys?

I would check the battery. This is a typical error message that you get when the battery has a low charge.

Thanks for the advice I changed the rear battery (not the starter) and everything's back to normal 👍🏼
