Does Mercedes-Benz notify on phone when starting?
2 Answers
Normally, when starting the Mercedes-Benz engine, there will be no SMS notification on the phone. However, if there is any unauthorized operation or someone enters the vehicle, the phone will receive a corresponding SMS alert indicating that someone has entered the car. Steps to start the Mercedes-Benz E300: Open the driver's door of the Mercedes-Benz E300, release the electronic parking brake switch, press the brake pedal of the Mercedes-Benz E300 all the way down until it cannot be pressed further, to prepare for engine start, then press the one-touch start button of the Mercedes-Benz E300. Remote start for Mercedes-Benz E300: You need to purchase the service from the Mercedes-Benz Connected Store to use this feature. Then, install the dedicated Mercedes-Benz app on your phone, which includes a specific button for remote start. However, this service is chargeable, and you can purchase the product specification that suits your needs.
I remember when I first started using a Mercedes-Benz, my phone would indeed notify me upon vehicle startup. You need to download the Mercedes me app, input the car's VIN code for pairing, and enable notification settings. The moment the car starts, your phone immediately pops up with a reminder, displaying messages like 'Vehicle started'—simple and straightforward. This feature is quite useful for anti-theft purposes; if someone tries to steal your car, you'll know right away. Models that support remote start make it even easier to use, but it requires a stable mobile network—poor signal may cause delays. As someone who commutes by car daily, these notifications save me a lot of hassle, eliminating the need to constantly check the garage to confirm whether the car is turned off. The downside is that it requires a monthly subscription fee, roughly a few dozen yuan per month—whether it's worth it depends on personal preference.
