The car starts to shut off certain functions to preserve the battery, such as switching off the radio and heating as soon as you hit the stop button...

My car is a 2012 535i xdrive with nav. The car sat all weekend long so that could explain it. I thought that driving it for 50 miles and about 50 mins would recharge the battery to operating level. Ill be driving another 50 miles home but long this time as I will hit more traffic and lets see if I get this message again.

Thanks!
