How do I set up Personal Profiles in SYNC?

Personal Profiles are associated with a key fob, allowing the vehicle to react and welcome each driver to the vehicle automatically. They save your vehicle settings for seats, Head-Up Display^**, steering wheel adjustment, power-adjustable pedals, mirrors, climate control, navigation preferences^†, ambient lighting, etc. See below for instructions on using SYNC^®* Settings to create a personal profile.

Setting Up Personal Profiles

Important:

The vehicle must be parked and running in a safe, open location (free of overhead ceilings, branches, etc.).
Personal Profiles are available for vehicles with SYNC^®* 3 and SYNC 4, but not every vehicle model will have this feature, regardless of SYNC generation. Review your Owner's Manual to confirm you can set a personal profile.
