What does the Mercedes-Benz Touchpad controller do?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles feature many advanced and innovative technology features to help you get where you need to go while being entertained and in control. Some of these features, like the touchpad controller, aren’t available with other brands, which means some drivers might not know exactly what this feature is capable of. Today we’re going to explore what this feature does to help improve your overall driving experience.

How to Use the Mercedes-Benz Touchpad Controller

A few Mercedes-Benz models, including the C-Class and S-Class have the optional feature of the touchpad controller. This feature includes a rotary knob and one-touch keys as well as a touchpad that offers intuitive access to a world of entertainment, available navigation and more. It responds to a variety of finger motions like swipe, pinch and even handwriting. Take a look at the video below to see it in action and see just how easy it is to use.
This feature gives you access to other functions in your vehicle like navigation, audio media, the phone and vehicle settings. The rotary knob works a little bit like a computer mouse so can shift it left, right, up and down and you can press it down to select an item. The touchpad works like a tablet or touchscreen phone. You can glide your finger over it to make selections. You can use this to adjust general settings in your vehicle like the temperature, audio volume and more.
