MyFord Mobile Expands to Smartwatch for Driver Convenience

MyFord Mobile Expands to Smartwatch for Driver Convenience

JACKSON, Mich. – Ford Motor Co. recently expanded MyFord Mobile to work with drivers’ smartwatches in a move that will further convenience the automaker’s customers. You can now access in-depth vehicle data from your wrist, without ever digging for your smartphone in your pocket.

Ford engineers developed the MyFord Mobile app to provide customers with features and information about their electric or hybrid vehicle, including:

  • Battery charge level to help you know ahead of time when to charge
  • Driving range to help you gauge drivable distances
  • Vehicle location to help you find your long-lost parking space
  • Vehicle mileage summary so you can tell how far your driving between charges
  • Last trip summary that includes a personal driving score and percentage of EV miles
  • Door locking so your vehicle is never left vulnerable, and unlocking for convenience
  • Remote vehicle cabin preparation so you can crank the heat or cool things down before you’re inside

As MyFord Mobile expands to smartwatches for driver convenience, it’s clear that Ford is focused on technology, but also eco-friendly development. The MyFord Mobile previous trip summary feature lets you see your miles per gallon or mpg equivalent, trip miles, and braking and driving efficiency through a display of green leaves, where the more leaves shown indicates better driver efficiency.

Additionally, the app included a Google Maps feature you can pinch and zoom with to find Ford electric or hybrid vehicle charging stations. MyFord Mobile works with Android Wear and Apple Watch smartwatch applications, and can be integrated with the Ford C-Max Energi, Ford Focus Electric, and Ford Fusion Energi. Download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

The new MyFord Mobile app for the smartwatch should make it easier to determine whether or not your vehicle is in need of car repair or routine auto service by providing you with information like that listed above.
