Mastering Your Drive: How to Set Up Driver Profiles in Your Toyota
Your Toyota is more than just a way to get from A to B—it’s an extension of your lifestyle. And with the ability to save individual driver profiles, it can adapt to you as soon as you step in. Whether you’re sharing the car with a partner or just love your creature comforts set just so, Toyota's multimedia system makes customisation easy.
Here’s how to create and personalise driver profiles in Toyota models like the bZ4X, Corolla Cross, and C-HR, using insights from the official owner’s manuals.
Step 1: Access "My Settings" in the Multimedia Display
Start by turning the power on and navigating to the multimedia system's main menu. Look for an option called "My Settings" or "User Profile".
In supported models (such as the bZ4X and C-HR), this section lets you create a personal driver profile tied to either your key or your Toyota Connected account.
Step 2: Save Your Seat and Mirror Positions
For models equipped with driver position memory, like higher-grade Corolla Cross and C-HR variants:
- Adjust the driver's seat and side mirrors to your preferred positions.
- Press the "SET" button near the door or seat controls.
- Press and hold the memory button (1 or 2) until you hear a beep.
These positions will now be saved and can be recalled automatically when you select your profile or use the corresponding smart key.
Step 3: Set Your Climate Preferences
While Toyota vehicles don't yet let you save climate settings directly to your profile, you can preset your AUTO air conditioning system, driver seat heater, and steering wheel heater to activate automatically based on cabin conditions.
To configure this:
- Use the climate menu on your touchscreen.
- Select "ECO", "AUTO", or "ALL AUTO" depending on your model.
- Enable automatic control of seat heating or cooling via the "Climate Convenience" settings in the system menu.
These settings will remain until changed, making it easy to return to your ideal comfort level.
Step 4: Customise Your Audio and Display
You can adjust the multimedia system for your personal taste:
- Favourite radio stations
- Bluetooth devices
- Sound settings (bass, treble, balance)
- Display themes and brightness
These preferences are saved per user profile, so when you log in with your key or profile, your music and display preferences load automatically.
Step 5: Link Your Profile with the myToyota Connect App
To take it further, link your driver profile to your myToyota Connect app account. This enables:
- Cloud-stored profile settings
- Remote climate control (EV models)
- Vehicle location tracking
- Digital key features (on supported vehicles)
Follow the prompts under the "Connected Services" tab in your multimedia system to complete the setup.
Once set up, your Toyota will welcome you back with your ideal seat position, audio vibe, and climate settings already in place. It’s convenience, comfort, and a hint of luxury—all built into your daily drive. Whether you’re hopping into the futuristic bZ4X, the family-friendly Corolla Cross, or the design-forward C-HR, mastering your driver profile means your Toyota always feels like it was made for you.
