Concept
In the driver profiles, individual settings for sevj
eral drivers can be stored and called up again
when required.
General

sonal vehicle settings can be stored. Every rej mote control has one of these driver profiles asjsigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote control, the assigned personal driver profile will be actij vated. All settings stored in the driver profile areautomatically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control, the vehicle will adjust the personal settings durj

Changes to the settings are automatically stored
in the driver profile currently activated.

used to apply settings in the vehicle without
changing the personal driver profiles.
