You can update maps in your car with MapCare™. This is a map update service for cars equipped with Sensus Navigation.

Map download program

Map downloads are managed through a program installed on your computer. This program lets you download large map files and resume the download if it’s interrupted.

Sensus Navigation 2014

Maps are updated in two steps: first, you download the map data to a USB memory, and then you transfer it from the USB memory to the car.

The position of the USB port may vary depending on car model.

The map must be downloaded to an empty USB memory (32GB) with FAT32 formatting.

If you don’t have a USB memory at hand, you can download the map to your computer first and copy the files to an empty USB memory later.

 Note

  • The time it takes to transfer the map data from the USB memory to the car depends on the size of the data.
  • The update can be performed while driving. If the installation isn’t complete when the car is turned off, it will resume automatically the next time you drive.
  • The navigation system can be used when updating a map region. If you're updating an entire map market (e.g., the EU), the navigation system cannot be used during the update.
  • The map update will pause if the infotainment system is turned off or if the USB memory is removed before the update finishes. The update will automatically resume when the system is turned back on or the USB memory is reinserted.
  • Wait a moment before turning off the car or removing the USB memory after the transfer is complete. This is to ensure that the map is installed correctly.
  • If a map hasn't been installed correctly, try installing a smaller map from another country (e.g., Israel) first, then reinstall the required map.

For the installation to start, the following criteria must be met:

  • The version for the selected area is later than the one in the car.
  • Selected area is compatible with the car's software. If the update is not compatible then new software will need to be downloaded.
  • Selected area is compatible with the existing map. If the area is not compatible then the map will need to be replaced.
