changed battery now R58 won't start

During a road trip yesterday I had to change the battery in the Mitey1. After starting the car 3 times over the course of the trip she will no longer turn-over. The dash board functions work but the engine won't start. What do I need to do to reset whatever needs resetting?
Thanks!

Have you checked that the battery cables are clean and tight?

What's the voltage across the battery terminals? If your charging system isn't working, you may simply have drained the new battery too much to run the starter.

Why are you changing a battery in a car that can't be more then a month old? And if you did it yourself your screwed because the dealership might not help you out.
