Volkswagen ID.4: Customizable vehicle settings

The vehicle functions that can be set depend on the equipment. Some functions that can be personalized are not stored online, rather only assigned locally to the user profile in the vehicle.

The following functions can be personalized:

• Windshield wiper settings.
• Seat settings
• Light and view (low beam headlight turning on time, 3-blink turn signal).
• Climate control system settings
• Driving data menu and selection of displays in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit.
• Driver assistance systems settings.

Synchronising vehicle settings

Vehicle settings that are changed in the vehicle are automatically assigned to the active user profile and stored online periodically. The vehicle settings are synchronized automatically with the data saved online in the following situations, when there is an internet connection:

• When switching on the ignition and the Infotainment system: synchronizes all recently used Volkswagen user accounts saved in the vehicle.
• When switching to another Volkswagen user account: synchronizes the newly activated and the now deactivated Volkswagen user account.
• At the end of the trip and when switching off the ignition: synchronizes the Volkswagen user account that was last active.

You can also start synchronization manually at any time in the user administration menu, e.g. if automatic synchronization upon login was not successful. Synchronization cannot take place automatically if the vehicle's online status is impaired, e.g. in underground garages, or if you have activated the "Maximum privacy settings" mode.

If an inactive user profile is active in another vehicle and if settings are synchronized from there, these settings will also be loaded to your vehicle and assigned to the corresponding user profile.

Introduction

With Upgrades, your vehicle can be temporarily or permanently equipped after delivery with new optional functions.

Functions

Depending on the vehicle model, convenience and Infotainment system functions, as well as driver assistance systems, can be enabled for a limited time or permanently for a fee.

Enabling Upgrades functions depends on the country and vehicle.

Certain Infotainment systems contain a list of activated functions.

Activated functions are not bound to the term of the We Connect Volkswagen user account.

When lending or selling your vehicle, inform the buyer or user about the functions which have been permanently enabled, or those which are enabled for a limited period.

WARNING

Enabling functions while driving can distract from traffic. Driver distraction can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.

• Enable functions only when the vehicle is stationary.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.

In some cases, if the necessary hardware for enabling the function is not present in the vehicle, it can be retrofitted by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

If the necessary software for enabling the function is not present in the vehicle, the software can be retrofitted. Retrofitting may have associated charges, depending on the type of software.
