from the dealer.....

Make sure you replace the correct battery, typically a red light is the aux battery located under the hood.

call roadside assistance. Pay for the part, free installation at your location.

This trick works pretty well, certified MB tech does it for you......

I do not know if they do the aux battery though, sign and drive is supposed to be for jump start / battery replacement when car is not starting.

Also, it may not be a bad idea to have the car looked at. You make have additional issues. (i.e battery control module fault). You may even want to check if the campaign for control module flash applies to your vehicle and was performed.
