Cl 500
Won’t start

Hi, I bought a cl500 year 2000 yesterday and today it is beached on my drive and won’t start. A red triangle with a little car in it appears on the dash now, see pic. If anyone can be of assistance I’d be very grateful.
Thanks

Check fuses, then check the prefuses, then jump the starter relay and this should be fairly easy to diagnose. Would take maybe an hour to do all this, no need to buy an expensive Mercedes diagnosis 🤷*♂️
