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

vehicle to a workshop. Profiles can be taken to
another vehicle equipped with the Personal
Profile function.
