Manage system updates
See the video or instructions below for information about how you install system updates directly from the car.
System updates are managed using the Download Centre app in the application view in the centre display. Pressing the button starts a download application in the bottom home view subview. If no search for available updates has been executed since the last time the infotainment system was started, a search is carried out. No search is carried out if software installation is in progress. An icon in the download application's button System updates shows how many updates are available. Pressing the button displays a list of updates which can be installed in the car.
The car must be connected for system updates to be executed. For information on how to connect the car to the Internet, see Connect to the Internet via your mobile phone (WiFi), or Connect to the internet via Bluetooth connected phone.
