Mercedes has added integration for the Pebble smartwatch that allows the Pebble to show fuel level, vehicle location, and whether the car’s doors are locked when the driver is away from the vehicle. The Pebble will also vibrate to notify drivers if there’s an accident or road construction up ahead, rather than relying on the navigation screen.
