Default 1999 ES300 shows no electricity at all and cannot start

I bought this car two days ago, and I am just trying to be familar with its functions.

At first, the car was fine, I ignited it, checked the headlight, and adjusted the seat height and angle. I also adjusted the brightness of instumental panel lights.

Then, I pressed trac off (VSC off) button several times which I forget whether the car was in ignition state or not. I turned off the car without noticing there is anything wrong.

Several minutes later, I came back into the car and tried to ignite the car. The problem happened that I cannot ignite it. The sign TRAC off, VSC off, and ABS showed sequentially and the brightness of the instrumental panel is becoming weaker and weaker.

I locked the car and came back into it again after several minutes. Then I find the car totally loses the electricity. There is no single light and there is no reaction when I try to ignite it.

So the whole thing is I pushed several buttons several times in the car, and then the car becomes dead. Any idea what is wrong? Any suggestion and advice? It is appreciated. Thanks.

Dead battery, or poor connection on the battery terminals.
