Protecting user-specific content and applications

If you add a new user, access protection is already activated for the user profile. The Mercedes me PIN and, depending on the vehicle equipment, biometric sensors are available for access. Biometric sensors must be taught in in the vehicle. The authentication process then takes all taught-in and available sensors into account.

The following user-specific content and applications are protected, for example:

User selection and user profile settings
The teaching-in of biometric sensors is protected.
Suggestions
The data and determination of the most probable navigation destinations, media sources, radio stations, contacts and messages are protected.
ENERGIZING COACH
The recorded health data and their evaluation are protected.
In-Car Office
The calendar, the tasks and the e-mails are protected.
Parking service
The payments are protected.
Mercedes me connect store
The purchase of services is protected.
The system activations of purchased vehicle functions are protected.

In the following cases you will be prompted for authentication or re-authentication using a sensor or the Mercedes me PIN:

When selecting a protected user profile
When calling a function requiring special protection
If biometric sensors provide insufficient or contradictory information
If the multimedia system no longer trusts a sensor
If the seat belt buckle and the door are opened at the same seat

Face recognition for re-authentication in the driver's seat is only possible once the door has been closed or the seat belt buckle has been fastened again.

Select Protect content.

Switch Access protection on or off.

When access protection is switched off, your user profile can be accessed and changed from every vehicle seat.

Access protection is switched on or off on a vehicle-specific basis.

Please note that authentication is necessary for several functions such as In-Car Office and cannot therefore be completely switched off.

Teaching in, editing and deleting biometric data

The biometric data models are saved in the sensors in the vehicle. If recognition has been taught-in, this sensor serves as a contributory factor for authentication on the multimedia system.

If necessary, authenticate yourself on the multimedia system.

Select Configure.
