Personal Profile
Operating Principle
Some vehicle functions can be individually adjusted. The Personal Profile function allows most of these settings to be stored in the memory of the electronic key in use without any action on your part. When the vehicle is unlocked, the key in use is identified, and all programmable systems and functions are set to the settings stored in the memory of that key.
If several people use the vehicle, each of them can quickly adjust it to suit them using their own electronic key.
Personal Profile can be programmed for four people; with Comfort Access, for two.
