This view provides a comprehensive dashboard for monitoring and controlling the Mercedes-Benz car. It allows users to check fuel, EV battery, tire pressure, and lock status, verify door and window sensors, control pre-entry climate, and track the vehicle's location.
14+
The **Car Dashboard** provides a centralized command center for the Mercedes GLC, unifying vehicle health monitoring and remote control. It combines real-time data metrics (fuel, battery, tire pressure) with actionable controls (locks, climate pre-conditioning). The interface features a visual "Digital Twin" of the car to intuitively display status alerts, warning indicators (low fluids, unlocked doors), and charging progress, alongside a real-time location tracker.

### User Guide
27+
* **Status Cards**:
28+
* **Fuel & Battery**: Large cards at the top show current levels. Color changes (Green $\to$ Yellow $\to$ Red) indicate if you need to refuel or recharge. The "Pre AC" card allows manual toggling of the climate control.
29+
* **Scheduler**: Use the list view to set automatic "Departure Times" for the climate control, ensuring a warm car on cold mornings.
30+
31+
* **Visual Car Status (Picture Elements)**:
32+
* **Tires**: Four tire icons positioned at the wheels display pressure status. A blinking **Orange** icon warns of low pressure.
33+
* **Locks**: A central lock icon indicates security. **Green** = Locked, **Blinking Red/Orange** = Unlocked.
34+
* **Fluids**: Icons for **Brake Fluid**, **Coolant**, and **Washer Fluid** appear at the top if levels are low.
35+
* **Charging**: A plug icon appears near the charging port when the cable is connected; it blinks blue when actively charging.
36+
* **Location**: The background changes to show "Home" (Garage) or "Road" depending on the car's tracker state.
37+
38+
* **Map**: The bottom section renders a live map trace of the car's location over the last 48 hours.

The dashboard visualizes data aggregated by the `Car` package. The architecture organizes entities into logical layers: **Header Widgets** for high-level metrics (Fuel, Battery), a **Visual Layer** (Picture Elements) for spatial alerts (Tires, Locks), and a **Control Layer** for interacting with the vehicle (Climate, Scheduler). The `Browser Mod` integration allows for detailed pop-up interactions when cards are double-tapped.
