Driver
profiles
Principle
Individual
settings
for
several
drivers
can
be
saved
in
the
driver
profiles
and
called
up
again
as
required.
General
Three
driver
profiles
are
provided,
in
which
perj
sonal
vehicle
settings
can
be
saved.
Each
vehicle key
is
assigned
one
of
these
driver
profiles.
When
the
vehicle
is
unlocked
with
a
vehicle
key, the
assigned
driver
profile
is
activated.
All
thesettings
saved
in
the
driver
profile
are
applied
aujtomatically.
If
several
drivers
each
use
their
own
vehicle
key,
the
vehicle
will
adapt
to
their
personal
settings
when
it
is
unlocked.
These
settings
are
also
rej stored
if
the
vehicle
is
used
in
the
intervening
pej
riod
by
someone
with
a
different
vehicle
key.
Changes
to
settings
are

driver
profile.

driver
profile
is
selected
via
iDrive, the
settings
saved
there
are
automatically
apj
plied.
The
new
driver
profile
is

the
vehicle
key
currently
in
use.
A
guest
profile
is
also
available
which
is
not
asj

any
vehicle
key.
It
can
be
used
to
perj
form
settings
on
the
vehicle
without
changing
the
personal
driver
profiles.
Operating
requirements
To
ensure
that
the
correct
driver
profile
is
apj
plied,
the
system
must
be
able
to

vehicle
key
unambiguously
to
the
driver.
This
is
ensured
if
the
following
conditions
are
met:'xThe
driver
is
only
carrying
their
own
vehicle
key.'xThe
driver
unlocks
the
vehicle.'xThe
driver
