CONTROLS
General
Three profiles are provided, in which personal
vehicle settings can be saved. Each remote con‐
trol is allocated to one of these driver profiles.
When the vehicle is unlocked with a remote con‐
trol, the allocated driver profile is activated. All
the settings saved in the driver profile are applied
automatically.
If several drivers each use their own remote con‐
trol, the vehicle will adapt to their personal set‐
tings when it is unlocked. These settings are also
restored if the vehicle is used in the intervening
period by someone with a different remote con‐
trol.
Changes to settings are saved automatically in
the currently used driver profile.
If a different driver profile is selected via iDrive,
the settings saved there are automatically ap‐
plied. The new driver profile is allocated to the
remote control currently used.
A guest profile is also available which is not allo‐
cated to any remote control. It can be used to
perform settings on the vehicle without changing
the personal driver profiles.
Operating requirements
To ensure that the correct driver profile can be
set, the system must be able to assign the de‐
tected remote control uniquely to the driver.
This is assured if the following conditions are
met:
▷ The driver is only carrying their own remote
control.
▷ The driver unlocks the vehicle.
▷ The driver enters the vehicle through the
driver's door.
Currently used driver profile
The name of the currently used driver profile is
displayed when the Control Display is switched
on.
