Transferring the updated maps from the USB drive to the vehicle

General information

This transfer may take between 30–60 minutes depending on the file size. This must be done with the navigation and infotainment systems activated.

  • Information/media stored on the vehicle's hard drive

Tap Confirm. The update will begin and progress information will be shown on the center display.
The center display will indicate when the update has been completed. Remove the USB drive from the socket.
Verify that the correct map information has been transferred by repeating the procedure in "Current map version."
