A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes at least one sensor including an image sensor operable to capture image data. An image processor is operable to process captured image data to determine at least one of (i) a driving condition of the vehicle and (ii) a road condition of the road that the vehicle is traveling along. The driver assistance system, when activated and at least in part responsive to image processing of captured image data, is operable to control at least one accessory or system of the vehicle. The driver assistance system is operable to adjust at least one parameter of the control of the at least one accessory or system of the vehicle in response to (i) an identification of a particular driver and (ii) at least one preferred parameter indicative of the driver's preference for the at least one accessory or system of the vehicle.
