turning the key for 10s!

Hello AMG fans,

So coming back from Germany (I did the paddle shift AMG and installed some insane catalytic converters will pots pix soon )

anyway, so after refuelling I couldn't start my car... every lights were on but nothing was turning nor moving inside the engine bay I called MB 24hrs and they told me to keep holding the key for 10s inside the ignition and the engine would start and it worked my car started fine 3
(almost cause at first the ESP and run flat was out of service)

What exactly is that kind of issue does anybody know? (No more fuel inside the C55? )
Thanks in advance

Thats strange, ask MB why this might be since they suggested it.

Happened to mine before. Something to do with the electronic key ignition not recognizing the key.
