Driver profiles
Many of the vehicle's settings can be cus- tomized to the driver's personal preferencesand saved in one or more driver profiles.
These personal settings are automatically saved in the active driver profile. Each key canbe linked to one driver profile. When the linkedkey is used, the vehicle is customized to thespecific settings of that driver profile.
Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?
Many of the settings made in the vehicle willbe automatically stored in the active driverprofile if the profile is not protected. The vehi-cle has settings that can be made either per-sonal or global. The personal settings aresaved in driver profiles. Settings that can be saved in a driver profile include, among other things, screens, mirrors, front seats, navigation *, audio and media sys-
tem, language and voice control. Some settings are global settings. These set- tings can be changed but are not saved to aspecific driver profile. Changes to global set-tings affect all profiles.
Global settings
Global settings do not change when driver profiles are changed. They remain the sameregardless of which driver profile is currentlyactive. Keyboard layout is an example of a global set-ting. If driver profile X is used to add additionalkeyboard languages, these languages will alsobe available for driver profile Y. The settingsfor keyboard layout are not saved to a specificdriver 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 profileY will not be affected by this setting. It willonly be saved to driver profile X becausebrightness setting is a personal setting.

To change the audio volume of the system, turn the volume knob while the voice is speak-ing. It is possible to use other buttons whilevoice commands are being given.

Press and hold the steering wheel key- pad's voice command button
until
