Keyboard layout is an example of a global set-  
ting. If driver profile X is used to add additional  
keyboard languages, these languages will also  
be available for driver profile Y. The settings  
for keyboard layout are not saved to a specific  
driver profile - the settings are global.  
System  
Driver profiles  
Many of the vehicle's settings can be cus-  
tomized to the driver's personal preferences  
and saved in one or more driver profiles.  
These personal settings are automatically  
saved in the active driver profile. Each key can  
be linked to one driver profile. When the linked  
key is used, the vehicle is customized to the  
specific settings of that driver profile.

Personal settings  
If driver profile X has been used to e.g., set the  
brightness for the center display, driver profile  
Y will not be affected by this setting. It will  
only be saved to driver profile X because  
brightness setting is a personal setting.  
Which settings are saved in driver  
profiles?  
Many of the settings made in the vehicle will  
be automatically stored in the active driver  
profile if the profile is not protected. The vehi-  
cle has settings that can be made either per-  
sonal or global. The personal settings are  
saved in driver profiles.
