Did you have a chance to scan the vehicle yet?

Sounds like auxillary battery ... easy to confirm, get a new one from Amazon for $39.95 and see what happens ...

This might be it, please see attached document, it is called the "additional battery".
One thing I am not sure is that if the S coupe has an aux battery or not, I heard some MB coupes don't have an aux battery.

Don't know if coupe uses a different type or location. Mine is next to the big fuse block on the right rear fender beneath the trunk lining.

from what I understand it is located in the trunk right hand side. I will confirm what battery it is once I get it out. I will order a new one regardless even if it was $100 at least it will take take issue off the table. Then if that doesn’t work I’ll dig deeper. Thanks again for all your support and help.

Sometimes, not always though and I am not sure what the parameters are but there will be an aux malfunction warning message in the instrument cluster, not sure when it gets triggered. That said, a failing aux battery therefore won't always trigger that message.

At least on the Sedan it is kinda a tough area to work on, you need to be a contortionist I struggled with mine quite a while. Woulda been easier if the terminals were different they had those little screws with the little nuts which were hard to get started on the new battery. The other thing that can cause distronic to not function is debris on the radar sensor on the front grill of the car or a heavy rainfall or heavy snow, you'll get that message then.
