Software Updates
A software update consists of three steps:
-
Downloading the software.
-
Installing the software.
-
Activating the software by restarting the system.
A popup message and a blue folder will appear in one of the dynamic telltale locations on the driver display when an update is available. In addition the software update option in the diagnostics menu will be active.
The vehicle must be in neutral gear, the parking brake set, and the engine off before a software update can start. Once started, a software update cannot be cancelled.
During the software update process, progress messages will be provided.
If a software update is interrupted, the system will ask if you want to restart the process or inform you that the vehicle cannot be driven until the update is complete. If a software update fails, the system will attempt to revert to the previous version. A notification will appear when a software update has been successfully installed.
Failure to install software updates may make data less secure and/or mean vehicle systems are not operating at their best.
Note: An estimation of installation time will be given before the software update starts. Installation can take several minutes. During installation individual functions and controls will not be available or only available to a limited degree.
