Unhappy "Currently Unavailable" error

"Consult Operator's Manual "
Possible clue, "low voltage" but where? otherwise manual was no help.

Should I try an OBD tester?

I looked at front fuse panel. Nothing unusual seen.
Temperature -10'C

Previously recent symptoms : random Transmission locked in Park after starting, corrected by restarting car. Possibly unrelated.

This means no {ABS, cruise control, anti-slip, or any other service with alert on. )

Yes and without ABS I would be very careful as the steering could be hard also. Even if you will determine the defective part with a generic/chinese OBD tool, you will need a real scanner to make the repair.

Does indeed sound like a battery issue especially if the issue is apparent the colder it gets.

I would expect a better indicator if the alternator failed.
The battery starting was certainly strong with a stiff engine.
So I expect 14.5V, but I'll check.

ECU & steering all 100% OK, rear window defogger OK, Fans OK so battery cannot be the cause.

You definitely need to get the codes read, but with traction control and ABS not working it points to a possibly bad wheel speed sensor.

If you do not have an AGM battery likely the battery terminals and cables are corroded , they will need to be cleaned with a terminal brush not some liqued de oxidizer. AGM won’t output gas that corrodes terminals . A weak battery or alternator is possible . What is battery voltage sitting ? Charge it now if you can and get it tested free at most any auto parts store . They can also test alternator . If all test good you need a pro to find a fault .

I notice a check engine light also lit. Definitely get the low voltage addressed and get codes with an MB dedicated scanner.

Yup, a scanner will help dearly.
