Abstract

Briefly, this invention allows multiple users to activate their preferred settings for the various customizable features in a vehicle. These preferred settings are stored in memory for subsequent use. One of a multiple drivers to a vehicle, after being identified, will cause his previously stored preferred settings in the memory to be applied to the appropriate subsystems in the vehicle. The preferred settings include driver and companion seat positioning, front and rear temperature control, radio station and speaker adjustment selections, steering wheel positioning and door lock and unlock specification. Advantageously, the present invention reduces confusion and adds comfort to the drivers of the same vehicle in that when a driver returns to a multi-driver vehicle, the preferred settings that she had last saved while in the vehicle will be applied to the appropriate vehicle subsystems. It is as if this driver is the only driver of the vehicle.
