Personal Profile

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 driver profiles with which per‐

sonal vehicle settings can be stored. Every re‐

mote control has one of these driver profiles

assigned.

▷

Press button, arrow 1, on the inside of the

tailgate.

Press button, arrow 2.

The vehicle will be locked after closing the

tailgate. The driver's door must be closed

for this purpose and the remote control

must be outside of the vehicle in the area

of the tailgate.

If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐

trol, the assigned personal driver profile will be

activated. All settings stored in the driver pro‐

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 re‐

stored, if the vehicle has been used in the

meantime by a person with a different remote

control.

Canceling the closing operation

The closing procedure is interrupted in the fol‐

lowing situations:

▷

If the vehicle starts off with a jerky move‐

ment.

Changes to the settings are automatically

saved in the driver profile currently activated.

By pressing the button on the outside of

the tailgate.

If another driver profile is selected via iDrive,

the settings saved in it will be applied automat‐

ically. The new driver profile is assigned to the

remote control currently used.

By pressing the button on the inside of the

tailgate.

By releasing the button in the driver's door.

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 driver profiles.

ent remote control, this profile will apply to

Profile function.
