Default Service keyless start

I have a 2017 GS m7, I started my car this morning and everything was fine. I had a doctors appointment I started it up and got service keyless start. Can someone tell me what this message pertains to. This is the first problem I have had.

I get this maybe once a week for the last year. Seems to depend on which pocket my key is in.

This is all the owner's manual states:

This message is displayed if there is
a problem with the pushbutton start
system. Take the vehicle to your
dealer for service
Probably best to have the system checked over by your dealer - I hope it is under warranty still.

Possibly not! Funny things happen with the fob battery starts going low. At a minimum I would try with other fob, including putting it in the steering column slot. Be advised thought many time weather used or not the second fob battery will often match the well used fobs one.

When my first fob battery died, I got one extra unlock out of the second one that was never used. Sat in a drawer for 4 years. So yes, buy 2 batteries because the second one wont be far behind.
