Mercedes-Benz has released a new Apple Watch app that lets owners control their cars from their wrists. The app has many of the same features as the Mercedes-Benz smartphone app. It is available now in the Apple Watch App Store.
To use the app, you need an Apple Watch running watchOS 7 or later. You also need an iPhone to install it. The app works with Mercedes-Benz models from 2019 and newer.
With the app, you can check your car’s fuel or charge level and see how far it can go. You can lock and unlock the doors from your watch.

You can also make sure all the windows are closed. If you forget where you parked, the app can help you find your car. It will give you walking directions to get there.
In areas where there are no maps, it will show a compass pointing to your car. “This new integration allows owners to interact with their vehicles seamlessly, without needing to access their smartphone,” a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson said. The exact features you get will depend on which model you have and how it is equipped.
Mercedes-Benz said the app was created because customers asked for it. The Apple Watch app is the latest way Mercedes-Benz is using technology to make things easier for drivers. The company wants to stay ahead of the curve as cars keep getting smarter.
