Before I called the AAA guy to jump start my car.
I tried to open the trunk with mechanical key.
but it's not works.

I think my service advisior is too busy to give me a call, let me know what's wrong with my car.
This afternoon I decided to go to dealership in person.
Good thing is I got my car back and don't have to pay any money

My receipt says " per dis found power management need to recharge battery ck for faults no faults stored no draw found
recharged battery ck operation ck ok."
I think the reason why my battery is dead is because I asked my landlord to start my car few times a week before I took a two-month vocation.
he started my car once a week in the first month.
the last time he started my car was alomst three weeks ago.
Although the last time he started my car about 15~20 mins,he just stay in the parking lot,did not drive it on the road.
It may spent a lot of battery's power.
that's the only reason I can find out

it's rough on a car to just have it started, if you're really concerned about the battery when you leave for a while, remove it from your car.
