Personal Profile The concept You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Personal Profile ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote control is detected and the settings stored for it are called up and carried out. This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls. > High-beam assistant*, refer to page 110 > PDC Park Distance Control*: optical warning, refer to page 90 > Head-Up Display*: selection and brightness of display, refer to page 102 > BMW Night Vision*: display settings, refer to page 105 > Automatic climate control: AUTO program and intensity, cooling function, and automatic recirculated air control/recirculated air mode, temperature, air distribution, temperature in the upper body region, refer to text starting on page 115 > Navigation system*: voice instructions for destination guidance, refer to page 142 In addition, the following, most recently selected settings are recalled during unlocking: > Programmable memory/direct selection buttons: selecting stored functions, refer to page 21 > Positions of driver's seat, outside mirrors, and steering wheel*, refer to page 47 > Audio sources: volume and tone settings, refer to page 169 > Radio: > Display of stored stations, refer to page 172 > Switching RDS Radio Data System on/ off*, refer to page 175 > Phone: volume setting, refer to pages 200, 206 Personal Profile settings Details on the settings are provided on the specified pages. > Behavior of the central locking system when unlocking vehicle, refer to page 30 > Automatic locking of the vehicle, refer to page 32 > Programming buttons* on steering wheel, refer to page 54 > Displays on Control Display: > Brightness of the Control Display, refer to page 88 > Measuring units for consumption, route/ distances, temperature, and pressure, refer to page 88 > 12h/24h clock format, refer to page 87 > Date format, refer to page 87 > Language on Control Display, refer to page 88 > Lighting settings: > Triple turn signal activation, refer to page 67 > Welcome lamps, refer to page 108 > Pathway lighting, refer to page 109 > Daytime running lamps*, refer to page 109 Central locking system The concept The central locking system is ready for operation whenever the driver's door is closed.
