Personal Profile
The concept
Using Personal Profile, individual settings for
several drivers can be saved and called up
again at a later time.
General information
There are three profiles with which personal ve‐
hicle settings can be stored. Every remote con‐
trol has one of these profiles assigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐
trol, the assigned personal profile will be acti‐
vated. All settings stored in the profile are auto‐
matically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control,
the vehicle will adjust the personal settings dur‐
ing unlocking. These settings are also restored,
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 profile currently activated.
If another profile is selected via the onboard
monitor, the settings saved in it will be applied
automatically. The new profile is assigned to
the remote control currently used.
There is an additional profile available that is
not assigned to any remote control: It can be
used to apply settings in the vehicle without
changing the personal profiles.
Adjusting
The settings for the following systems and func‐
tions are saved in the active profile. The scope
of storable settings is country- and equipment-
dependable.▷Unlocking and locking.▷Lights.▷Radio.▷Instrument cluster.▷Programmable memory buttons.▷Volumes, tone.▷Control Display.▷Climate control.▷Navigation.▷Park Distance Control PDC.▷Rearview camera▷Head-up Display.▷Driving Dynamics Control.▷Intelligent Safety.
Profile management

Regardless of the remote control in use a differ‐
ent profile may be activated.
On the Control Display:
1. "Settings"2."Profiles"3.Select a profile.
The following functions are executed:
▷All settings stored in the called-up profile
are automatically applied.▷The called-up profile is assigned to the re‐
mote control being used at the time.▷If the profile is already assigned to a differ‐
ent remote control, this profile will apply to
both remote controls. It cannot be differen‐
tiated anymore between the settings for
the two remote controls.
Renaming profiles
A personal name can be assigned to every pro‐
file to avoid confusion between the profiles.

Gear shift indicator
The concept
The system recommends the most fuel efficient
gear for the current driving situation.
General information Depending on the vehicle's features and coun‐
try version of the vehicle, the gear shift indica‐
tor is active in the manual mode of the Step‐
tronic transmission and with manual
transmission.

played in the instrument cluster.

Speed limit detection
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection shows the current maxi‐
mum permitted speed in the instrument clus‐
ter. The camera at the base of the interior rear‐
view mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of
the road as well as variable overhead sign
posts. Traffic signs with extra symbols for wet
road conditions, etc. are also detected and
compared with the vehicle's onboard data,
such as for the rain sensor, and will be dis‐
played depending on the situation.
With the navigation system, the system takes
into account the information stored in the navi‐
gation data and also displays speed limits
present on routes without signs.
Without a navigation system, the system is sub‐
ject to limitations imposed by technology.
Speed limits with extra text characters are al‐
ways displayed.
Information
Speed limits when towing a trailer are not
shown.
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess visibility
and traffic situation. There is risk of an accident.
Adjust the driving style to the traffic conditions.

camera.▷If the speed limits stored in the navigation
system are incorrect.▷In areas not covered by the navigation sys‐
tem.▷When roads differ from the navigation, such
as due to changes in road routing.▷When passing buses or trucks with a speed
sticker.Seite 84CONTROLSDisplays84
