Emergency detection of remote control

It is possible to switch on the ignition or start the engine in situations such as the following:

• Interference of radio transmission to remote control by external sources e.g., by radio masts.
• Empty battery in remote control.
• Interference from radio transmissions through mobile devices in close proximity to remote control.
• Interference of radio transmission by charger while charging items such as mobile devices in the vehicle.

A Check Control message is displayed if an attempt is made to switch on the ignition or start the engine.

If the remote control is not recognized: slightly change the height position of the remote control and repeat the procedure.

Personal Profile

The concept

Personal Profile provides three profiles, using which personal vehicle settings can be stored.

Every remote control has one of these profiles assigned.

If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote control, the assigned personal profile will be activated.

All settings stored in the profile are automatically applied.

If several drivers use their own remote control, the vehicle will adjust the personal settings during unlocking. These settings are also restored, if the vehicle has been used in the meantime by a person with a different remote control.

Changes to the settings are automatically saved in the personal profile.

Three personal profiles and a guest profile can be created.

Adjusting

The settings for the following systems and functions are saved in the active profile. The scope of storable settings is country- and equipment-dependable.

• Unlocking and locking.
• Lights.
• Climate control.
• Radio.
• Instrument cluster.
• Programmable memory buttons.
• Volumes, tone.
• Control Display.
