Concept
In

driver
profiles,
individual
settings
for
sev#j
eral
drivers
can
be
stored
and
called
up
again
when
required.
General
information There
are
three
driver
profiles
with
which
per#j
sonal
vehicle
settings
can
be
stored.
Every
vehi#j
cle
key
has
been
assigned
one
of
these
driver
profiles.
If
the
vehicle
is
unlocked
using
a
vehicle
key,
the
assigned
personal
driver
profile
will
be
activated.
All
settings
stored
in
the
driver
profile
are
auto#j
matically
applied.
If
several
drivers

their
own
vehicle
keys,
the

If
another

stored
in
it
will
be
applied
automatically.
The

There
is
an
additional

not
assigned
to
any
vehicle
key.
It
can
be
used
to
apply
settings
in
the
vehicle
without

to
be
able
to
identify
the
