Driver profiles

Many of the vehicle's settings can be cus-
tomized to the driver's personal preferences
and saved in one or more driver profiles.

These personal settings are automatically
saved in the active driver profile. Each key can
be linked to one driver profile. When the linked
key is used, the vehicle is customized to the
specific settings of that driver profile.

Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?

Many of the settings made in the vehicle will
be automatically stored in the active driver
profile if the profile is not protected. The vehi-
cle has settings that can be made either per-
sonal or global. The personal settings are
saved in driver profiles.

Settings that can be saved in a driver profile
include, among other things, screens, mirrors,
front seats, navigation

*

, audio and media sys-

tem, language and voice control.

Some settings are global settings. These set-
tings can be changed but are not saved to a
specific driver profile. Changes to global set-
tings affect all profiles.

Global settings

Global settings do not change when driver
profiles are changed. They remain the same
regardless of which driver profile is currently
active.

Keyboard layout is an example of a global set-
ting. If driver profile X is used to add additional
keyboard languages, these languages will also
be available for driver profile Y. The settings
for keyboard layout are not saved to a specific
driver profile - the settings are global.

Personal settings

If driver profile X has been used to e.g., set the
brightness for the center display, driver profile
Y will not be affected by this setting. It will
only be saved to driver profile X because
brightness setting is a personal setting.

Head-up display

*

The head-up display is a complement to the
instrument panel and projects information
from the instrument panel onto the wind-
shield. The projected images can only be
seen from the driver's seat.

The head-up display projects warnings and
information related to speed, cruise control
functions, navigation, etc. onto the windshield
in the driver's field of vision. Traffic information
and incoming phone calls can also be shown
on the head-up display.

NOTE

The driver's ability to see information in the
head-up display may be impeded by

•

the use of polarizing sunglasses

•

a driving posture in which the driver is
not centered in the seat

•

objects on the display unit's glass
cover

•

unfavorable lighting conditions.

CAUTION

The information is projected from a display
unit located in the dashboard. To help pre-
vent damage to the display unit's glass
cover, do not place any objects on the
glass and prevent objects from falling onto
it.
