Many of the vehicle's settings can be custom-
ized to the driver's personal preferences and
saved in one or more driver profiles. These personal settings are automatically saved
in the active driver profile. Each key can be linked
to one driver profile. When the linked key is used,
the vehicle is customized to the specific settings
of that driver profile.
Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?
The vehicle has settings that can be made either
personal or global. The personal settings are
saved in driver profiles.
Settings that can be saved in a driver profile
include, among other things, screens, mirrors,
front seats, navigation*, audio and media system,
language and voice control.
Some settings are global settings. These settings
can be changed but are not saved to a specific
driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all
profiles.

||DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL

Global settings
Global settings and parameters do not change
when driver profiles are changed. They remain
the same regardless of which driver profile is cur-
rently active.
Keyboard layout is an example of a global setting.
If driver profile X is used to add additional key-
board languages, these languages will also be
available for driver profile Y. The settings for key-
board layout are not saved to a specific driver
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 profile Y
will not be affected by this setting. It will only be
saved to driver profile X because brightness set-
ting is a personal setting.
