Driver profiles

Concept
In the driver profiles, individual settings for several drivers can be stored and called up again when required.

General information
There are three driver profiles with which personal vehicle settings can be stored. Every vehicle key has been assigned to one of these driver profiles. If the vehicle is unlocked using a vehicle key, the assigned personal driver profile will be activated. All settings stored in the driver profile are automatically applied. If several drivers use their own vehicle keys, the vehicle will apply the personal settings as it is being unlocked. These settings are also restored if the vehicle has been used in the meantime by a person with a different vehicle key. Changes to the settings are automatically stored in the driver profile currently activated. If another driver profile is selected via iDrive, the settings stored in it will be applied automatically. The new driver profile is assigned to the vehicle key that is currently in use. There is an additional guest profile available that is not assigned to any vehicle key. It can be used to apply settings in the vehicle without changing the personal driver profiles.

Functional requirements
For the system to be able to identify the driver profile associated to a particular driver, the detected vehicle key must be clearly allocated to the driver.

This is the case when:

  • The driver is only carrying his or her own vehicle key.
  • The driver unlocks the vehicle.
  • The driver gets into the vehicle through the driver’s door.

Active driver profile
After switching on the Control Display, the name of the active driver profile is displayed. Select driver profile, refer to page 60. As soon as the engine is started or any key is pressed, the last selected display is shown on the Control Display.
