Depending on country and equipment, it is possible to create user accounts for different vehicle users in your vehicle. This allows
personalised vehicle settings, e.g. for the air conditioning system, to be saved in a user account.
User login after switching on the ignition
If user accounts have been created in the vehicle, a welcome menu opens when the ignition is switched on. The vehicle user can then
either log in or change the user. If the user account has been protected with an S-PIN, the S-PIN must be entered in order to log in.
You can activate the option Save S-PIN so that you are no longer asked to enter your S-PIN for user account selection. However,
remember that third parties can then access your personal data.
The settings stored in the user profile will be loaded in the vehicle as soon as a user has logged in.
Automatic assignment of a user account to the vehicle key
If a vehicle user logs into the vehicle with their user account, the vehicle key that is active in the vehicle will be automatically assigned
to their user account. When the vehicle is opened with an assigned vehicle key, the user account assigned to the vehicle key is offered
for selection in the welcome menu. If the user account is changed, the new active user account will be assigned to the vehicle key
active in the vehicle.
Automatic assignment of the vehicle key to the user account can be deactivated under Users
Assign vehicle key automatically.

Description of user roles
Primary user
—The “primary user” role is intended for the vehicle keeper or for users who do not just have temporary authorisation to use the
vehicle, such as a lessee or company car driver. The primary user has unrestricted rights and can assign additional rights to other
users of the vehicle by inviting them as secondary users. If a new primary user legitimises themselves for the vehicle, the previous
primary user will automatically lose their primary user role.
Secondary user
—The “Secondary user” user role is intended for users who also use the vehicle regularly. Secondary users derive their role from the
primary user and must be invited for the vehicle by the primary user. The primary user can delete secondary users at any time.
Guest users
—The “Guest user” user role is intended for users who use a vehicle occasionally or only once. Guest users can log in themselves in
every vehicle with service capability and involvement of the primary user is not necessary. Every vehicle user can delete the guest
user in the vehicle at any time. The guest user has only restricted access to certain services.
Anonymous guest
—The “Anonymous guest” user role is a non person-specific account that exists locally in the vehicle and cannot be synchronised with
the server. The “Anonymous guest” user role is intended for anonymous guests. These are persons who have access to the vehicle
but do not log in. This account exists only once in vehicles with online personalisation and cannot be deleted. If the “Anonymous
guest” user role is activated in the vehicle, all users logged into the vehicle will be logged out temporarily.
