Updating maps* via computer and USB
Preparations
USB memory
The following requirements apply if a USB memory is to manage an update:
Parameter | Requirements |
---|---|
USB standard (1.0/2.0/3.0): | At least 2.0 |
File system (Ext2/NTFS/FAT32): | FAT32 |
Capacity (8/16/32/64 GB): | The size of the map files is market related - see file size under "Detailed information" for each respective market on Volvo Cars support page (support.volvocars.com). |
Note current map version
Downloading of map data from the Internet to a USB memory
Download times can vary depending on the size of the map and the bandwidth of the connection.
Transferring map data from a USB to the car
The time taken to transfer from USB memory to the car varies depending on map data size. The update can be performed while driving. If installation is not finished when the car is switched off then the update continues when next driving.
Updating
For the update of an individual map region, the update starts immediately.
To start the update of the whole map database, the user must tap on Confirm - or on Cancel in order to cancel the installation.
Interruptions
If there is an interruption during an update an explanatory text message is always shown on the centre display.
What happens if... | Answer |
---|---|
the Infotainment system is switched off during the update? | The process pauses and resumes automatically from where it stopped when the system is reactivated, e.g. when the engine is started. |
the USB memory is pulled out before the update is complete? | The process pauses and resumes automatically from where it stopped when the USB memory is reconnected to the car. |
