Personal Profile

~1min read

A number of vehicle functions can be individually adjusted. "Personal Profile" 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 set it to their preferred configuration using their own electronic key.

The Personal Profile can be programmed for up to three people. It is only important that each of them has their own electronic key.
