I hope someone can assist with this.
I acquired my Evoque in April and have experienced no issues with it all. Today, I drove for the first time in over a week and encountered warnings approximately 2 miles down the road: "Park Brake Fault," "AEB Not Available," and "Forward Alert Not Available," accompanied by significantly heavy steering. Returned home and deactivated it.
In recent weeks, while entering the car, the "low battery start engine" notification appears. Are these interrelated? Will recharging the battery rectify the malfunction? Is the issue simply insufficient power being supplied to the brakes? I currently drive the automobile infrequently, approximately once a week at most.

The battery is the primary suspect; therefore, it should be examined and either charged or replaced.
Best of luck

All Evoques (and Land/Range Rovers) appear to require substantial battery power consistently.
When not operated, it deteriorates.
When the battery depletes, it initiates a sequence of shutdowns.

The start/stop mechanism is prioritised, and if the vehicle is not driven nor charged, the tailboard remains inoperative.
I departed in December and left the vehicle at Gatwick with a two-month-old battery.
I was so apprehensive about returning to a nonfunctional vehicle that I brought a spare battery with me.
During my absence, this is what transpired over the course of 11 days of inactivity.

It started successfully on a frigid morning, without any problems.

I am pleased to announce that after several hours of charging, my Evoque has returned to regular functionality. No warnings, and everything appears to possess enhanced vigour.
