Internuts, a question for 96 MB's starting problem

After inserting the key and turning it into position 2, the preglow light is on. I have to wait for the light off, then I can start the engine. But quite a few times, when the preglow light is on, at the same time, the red indicator lamp (locking) and breen indicator lamp (unlocking) under the rear mirror are both blinking. When this happens, the engine can't be start. This past Saturday, I waited for another one to two hours, restarted the engine, and luckily it started.
I am not sure this is a case of something wrong, or because I didn't follow some procedure so as to mess up the starting. Have you experienced this? When we tested the car at the dealer, the same happened. Then they explained that you have to wait for the preglow light off before turning the key to position 3 of starting the engine; if you didn't do this at the first try, the red and green lamp will blink, and the car can't start.
Any input?
Thanks a lot!
