Device and method to set driver preferences in vehicle devices

摘要

The security system has a driver specific code in the key (1), or key card, to unlock the vehicle. The driver's data is read by a local processor in the lock (2) in the vehicle and the details of the driver's identification and the registration of the vehicle are passed to a central register by a radio data link. The register is checked to verify that the driver has authority to use that particular vehicle, and if so, a return data link releases the security locks in the vehicle. The driver's identification contains specific data for the driver. This enables the local processor to set the seats to the optimum setting, adjust the driving mirrors. adjust the suspension to the selected comfort level etc. This enables the driver to use different pool vehicles without having to spend time adjusting the vehicle to suit his driving requirements.
