'05 MN6 it could very well be DBS. Automatic probably not.
Of course a bad battery or low charge for any number of reasons also applies.
Charge it up real good, and if everything is back to normal you're probably good to go. You might have to reset some of your memory items.
Let your dealer know.
If it happens again, certainly have the battery and charging system checked, and get a prioritystart module (do a forum search) to prevent further episodes.

If it's a dead battery, when you do get a good battery installed or charged up, window indexing is one of the things you'll probably have to reset.
Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Then do the other window the same way.

Thanks all. It was without a doubt a dead battery. I know I shut it down properly But it was dead as a doornail. I put it on a quick charge and it fired up OK. Do I need a new battery??????????

In my own experience in all kinds of vehicles, unless I've left a dome light on it's almost always a cell going bad and it will strike again, soon. You can either have the old one tested for a bad cell, or you can wait until it happens again, your choice.
