Driver profiles

Many of the settings made in the car can be
adapted according to the driver's personal
preferences and can be saved in one or more
driver profiles.

The personal settings are automatically saved
in the active driver profile. Each key can be
linked to a driver profile. When the linked key
is used, the car is adapted to the settings of
that specific driver profile.

What settings are saved in the driver
profiles?

Many of the settings defined in the car will be
saved automatically in the active driver profile
unless the profile is protected. In the car, the
settings defined are either personal or global.
Only personal settings are saved in driver pro-
files.

Settings that can be saved in a driver profile
include, amongst other things, screens, mir-
rors, front seats, navigation

*

, audio and media

system, language and voice control.

Some settings, referred to as global settings,
can be changed but are not saved to a specific
driver profile. Changes to global settings affect
all profiles.

Global settings

The global settings and parameters are not
changed when changing between driver pro-

files. They remain the same regardless of
which driver profile is active.

Keyboard layout settings are an example of
global settings. If driver profile X is used to
add additional languages to the keyboard,
these remain available for use even if driver
profile Y is used. The keyboard layout settings
are not saved to a specific driver profile - the
settings are global.

Personal preferences

If driver profile X was used to e.g. set centre
display brightness, driver profile Y is not affec-
ted by this setting. It has been saved to driver
profile X - the brightness setting is a personal
setting.

Linking remote control key to

driver profile

It is possible to link your key to a driver pro-
file. The driver profile along with all of its set-
tings will then be automatically selected
every time the car is used with that specific
remote control key.

The first time the remote control key is used, it
is not linked to any specific driver profile.
When the car is started, the

Guest

profile will

automatically be activated.

A driver profile can be selected manually with-
out linking it to the key. When the car is
unlocked, the last active driver profile is acti-
vated. Once the key has been linked to a driver
profile, a driver profile does not need to be
selected when that specific key is used.

Linking a remote control key to a
driver profile

NOTE

Connecting a remote control key to a driver
profile is only possible when the car is sta-
tionary.

First select the profile to be linked to the key,
if the profile to be linked is not already active.
