Prerequisites for the vehicle owner:
= You have a Mercedes me user account.
= You have a Mercedes me PIN.
= You have agreed to the terms of use.
= The vehicle is linked to a Mercedes me user
account.
% If one of the pre-requisites listed is missing or
if no user pr
oNle has been selected, the data
described in the following section will be
saved in the vehicle as the standard setting.
Standard settings can be changed by all vehi-
cle users.
User pr
oNles save personal settings. If the vehicle
is used by several people, a person can change
their proNle settings without changing the settings
of other users.
If the vehicle is equipped with the MBUX high end
Rear Seat Entertainment System, the occupants
in the rear passenger compartment can log in as
Mercedes me users from their seats. The Multi-

These initially belong to the driver, but can
also be changed by the other vehicle occu-
pants in their user proNle.
You can individualise a user pr
oNle in the vehicle

your user proNle. Some settings, e.g. the
Mercedes me PIN and a proNle photo are made in
the Mercedes me App or in the Mercedes me Por-
tal.
User-speciNc content and applications with per-
sonal data are protected by diMerent levels of
security. To access protected content, the
Mercedes me PIN and, depending on the vehicle
equipment, biometric sensors can be used.
% The security level is set by the multimedia sys-
t
em and calculated from the combination of
all sensor inputs. Some security levels cannot
be turned oM. %
