Driver profiles
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 vehicle has settings that can be made either personal or global. The personal settings are saved in driver profiles.
Settings that can be saved in a driver profile include screens, mirrors, front seat, navigation, audio and media system, language and voice control.
Some settings are global settings. These settings can be changed but are not saved to a specific driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all profiles.
Global settings
Global settings and parameters 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 setting. 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.
Linking a key to a driver’s profile
- A remote key can be linked to a driver profile. This driver profile and all of its settings will then automatically be selected every time the vehicle is used with that particular key.
- The first time the key is used, it is not linked to any specific driver profile. The Guest profile is automatically activated when the ignition is switched on.
