This is annoying. If you run the battery down past a certain threshold you get this message. It is intended to let you know that something is draining your battery while you are away from the car.

Even though I don't do short trips, I will sometimes see this message. When I get it I have to charge the battery manually overnight and then there's no problem. I usually have to deal with it when I had to valet park and they forget to press the "start" button twice to shut things down.

The dealer can read the key and see if you are running enough engine time to charge the battery. It seems like it's impossible to ever catch up.
