Account and Memory Authorized Unlocking If you want to lend your vehicle to others, you can authorize users registered on the NIO app. An authorized user can access authorized features by using their NFC key or verified NIO app. Owner Authorization Go to the Settings page of the NIO app or tap Account > Account Settings in the upper left corner of the center display, and then enter the gesture password of your vehicle to go to the authorization management page. You can authorize a user and set authorization by entering his/her NIO app user name. Up to nine users can be authorized.
After setting the user’s authorization, tap the profile photo or user name to view the user’s information and authorization details (e.g. media, video, safe box). If the current authorization is active, you can also edit the scope of authorized access or disable the user’s authorization. An authorized user can only access authorized features, and cannot manage authorization or set Guest Mode. If you unlock the vehicle using your smart key fob, the vehicle will automatically log into the owner’s account. Note For safety reasons, if you cancel authorization when an authorized user is driving the vehicle, it won’t take effect until the authorized user stops and locks the vehicle.
Note If the authorized user has a NIO account, the authorization will take effect immediately after it is completed. If the authorized user doesn’t have a NIO account, the authorization will become effective only after the user registers a NIO account. Unlocking by An Authorized User An authorized user can unlock the vehicle using their NFC key or remote control on the NIO app. To view the account and access of an authorized user, tap his/her profile photo on the center display. • NFC unlocking: Open the NFC app on your phone and place it close to the B pillar on the driver’s side. 66
