A watch-type mobile terminal worn and used on a user's wrist portion, the mobile terminal comprising:

• a communication unit configured to perform communication with a vehicle control apparatus installed in a vehicle;
• a body worn on the user's wrist portion to always contact with the wrist portion;
• an output unit provided in the body;
• a position detection unit configured to detect the position of the mobile terminal;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• control the output unit to output vehicle information on the vehicle acquired from the vehicle control apparatus to the outside, wherein the output unit displays the vehicle information on a screen and outputs it in the form of vibration of the body or voice,
• calculate a driving direction for arriving at the destination of the vehicle in real time according to the position of the mobile terminal, and
• control the output unit to display an arrow indicating the calculated driving direction in a TBT manner on the screen, wherein the output unit outputs a preset notification signal prior to the vehicle arriving at a turn point at which the driving direction of the vehicle should be changed according to an arrow indicating the driving direction.
