Driver profiles  
Many of the settings made in the car can be  
adapted according to the driver's personal  
preferences and can be saved in one or more  
driver profiles.  
The personal settings are automatically saved  
in the active driver profile. Each key can be  
linked to a driver profile. When the linked key  
is used, the car is adapted to the settings of  
that specific driver profile.  
Subcategories  
Keyboard layout settings are an example of  
global settings. If driver profile X is used to  
add additional languages to the keyboard,  
these remain available for use even if driver  
profile Y is used. The keyboard layout settings  
are not saved to a specific driver profile - the  
settings are global.
