Edit and protect driver profile

You can save personal settings specific to you in a driver profile by protecting the profile. The settings currently active at the time of locking are then saved. You can also name ore rename a profile whenever you wish.

Edit driver profile and save settings

You can name and rename your driver profiles. Setting selections, e.g. climate or mirror settings, that are set while a driver profile is active are saved automatically. If you do not want temporary changes to settings to be saved, you can protect a profile. The settings currently active at the time of locking are then saved. This means that even if temporary changes are made, the protection settings will be restored the next time the profile is used.
