Profile
Concept
Via Personal Profiles, individual settings for
several drivers can be stored and called up
again when required.
General
information There are three driver profiles with which perj
sonal vehicle settings can be stored. Every rej mote control has one of these driver profiles
assigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote conj
trol, the assigned personal driver profile will be
activated. All settings stored in the driver proj
file are automatically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control,
the vehicle will adjust the personal settings
during unlocking. These settings are also rej
stored, if the vehicle has been used in the
meantime by a person with a different remote control.
Changes to the settings are automatically
saved in the driver profile currently activated.
If another driver profile is selected via iDrive, the settings saved in it will be applied automatj
ically. The new driver profile is assigned to the
remote control currently used.
There is an additional guest profile available
that is not assigned to any remote control: it
can be used to apply settings in the vehicle
without changing the personal driver profiles.
Functional
requirements
For the system to be able to identify the driver
profile associated to a particular driver, the dej
tected remote control must be clearly alloj
cated to the driver.
This is the case when:'yThe driver is only carrying his or her own
remote control.'yThe driver unlocks the vehicle.'yThe driver gets into the vehicle through the
driver's door.
Settings
The settings for the following systems and
functions are saved in the active profile. The scope of storable settings depends on country
and equipment.
