Keyless go?
Does your keyless go take a few seconds longer to recognize you when you haven't used your car for a few days? It could be just me but it seems that the door and trunk unlock instantly if I am in and out of the car a lot, but it takes a few seconds if I haven't used it for a few days.

Might your battery be up for replacement? A 'few days' seems too short to me.
Come to think of it, the SL55 has 2 batteries, one for the power hungry 'consumers' and one to start the car. The latter should always have juice, unless someone hooked something to it that shouldn't have been (alarm?). Or maybe that one is up for replacement?

The car always starts, that's not the deal, it's the issue of the consumers battery pretty much always being dead.
I'll see if I can get it checked, right now the car is in the shop getting a new alternator (and possibly, a hundred other items).
I'm glad my dad has more patience than I do, otherwise this car would have been on sale yesterday. I don't like being put on the side of the road for no reason
