RED MESSAGE about BRAKES
I put the key in the ignition, when I turned it, I got a red message which I think said (Reduced Brake Effect Start Engine), if happened so quick I almost missed it. Right after that I got a white message saying convenience functions temporarily unavailable, which since I didn't drive the car for about a week, I sort of expected.
Anyone have any experience with the Brake message???

Yeah I was getting it consistantly for two weeks if I did
not start the car atleast once every 24 hours. Turned out
the battery in the trunk was not holding a charge. Replaced
the battery, and problem was solved.
Dealer said something about how the brakes use battery power
to keep it in park since it is not a typical brake by wire set up.
