which driver profile is active.

System

Driver profiles

Many of the settings made in the car can be

adapted according to the driver's personal

preferences and can be saved in one or more

driver profiles.

The personal settings are automatically saved

in the active driver profile. Each key can be

linked to a driver profile. When the linked key

is used, the car is adapted to the settings of

that specific driver profile.

Subcategories

Keyboard layout settings are an example of

global settings. If driver profile X is used to

add additional languages to the keyboard,

these remain available for use even if driver

profile Y is used. The keyboard layout settings

are not saved to a specific driver profile - the

settings are global.

Personal preferences

If driver profile X was used to e.g. set centre

display brightness, driver profile Y is not affec-

ted by this setting. It has been saved to driver

profile X - the brightness setting is a personal

setting.

What settings are saved in the driver

profiles?

Factory reset

Many of the settings defined in the car will be

saved automatically in the active driver profile

unless the profile is protected. In the car, the

settings defined are either personal or global.

Only personal settings are saved in driver pro-

files.

Voice recognition

WARNING

Voice control¹⁶allows you to control func-

tions in the car, e.g. climate system, radio or

a Bluetooth-connected phone with spoken

commands. In cars equipped with Sensus

Navigation*, the navigation system can also

be controlled with voice recognition.

The driver always holds overall responsibil-

ity for driving the vehicle in a safe manner

and complying with all applicable rules of

the road.

> A list of saved messages is shown.

Messages with an arrow to the right

can be maximised.

2. Tap on a message to expand/minimise.

> More information on the message is

shown in the list and the image to the

left in the app shows information about

the message graphically.

What is voice control?

Voice control is an aid that can facilitate the

use of different commands in your car. In prin-

ciple, it works like a normal application in

which you enter information in a fixed

sequence in order to perform a task, but

instead of typing on a keyboard you use voice

commands. It may therefore be a good idea to

learn how, and in what order, a voice com-

mand should be spoken in order to achieve the

desired result.

Managing a saved message

Some messages have a button for e.g. activat-

ing/deactivating a function linked to the mes-

sage.

–

Press the button to perform the action.

Saved messages in the top view are deleted

automatically when the car is switched off.

Voice control system microphone

The voice control system allows you to control

certain infotainment and climate functions

using voice commands. The system can

respond with speech and by showing informa-

tion in the driver display.
