Possible water ingress in passenger footwell (rotted electrics) you don't want this

Wheel speed sensor

Ideally needs the fault codes read and further diagnosis

Sorry to hear this. Mercedes are notorious for not liking a jump start. So many electrical systems ready to go wrong.

As above , the car really needs the fault codes read to see what is happening.

suspension: c1026

gear selector: p1879

Probably different but I had an issue on my C63 after disconnecting and reconnecting a MAF sensor, heavy steering and esp unavailable.
Just had to disconnect battery and leave it for 5 mins then reconnect and all faults cleared.......
Might not help you but worth a try
