It is possible to connect your key to a profile. The profile, along with all of its settings, will then be selected automatically every time the specific key is identified during unlocking or opening the driver’s door. The last profile used is activated if a key is not linked with a specific profile.
Changes to the car’s settings are saved in different ways depending on the category to which the settings belong. These settings may be personal, global or adapted for a drive cycle.
Personal settings are saved to an active profile.
There are two kinds of personal settings:
- Function settings – settings relating to driver support, driver side climate, the driver’s seat, the door mirrors and interior and exterior lighting. These settings retain their values when a profile is added or when signing out from an active profile.
- Sound and media settings – settings relating to navigation, sound and media systems, apps and linked accounts. These settings return to default settings when a profile is added or when signing out from an active profile.
The global settings are not changed when switching to a different profile. They remain the same regardless of which profile is active. Passenger side climate control, the passenger seat memory function, and certain system settings are examples of global settings.
A number of settings return to their defaults (Default settings may vary depending on market) after a drive cycle. This means that the value of a setting can be adjusted while you drive. After driving, it is returned to the default. At next drive cycle, the setting will have its default value again.
