Installing an update
Note
Once a software update has been downloaded and is ready for installation, it is shown in the notification view and by a message when the car is started. You can choose to install the update immediately, or have a further reminder at a later date.
Note
Do not install new software when the car is connected to rapid charging. The car can be left connected for charging from a normal socket but is not charged during the installation. Depending on charging source, charging can be resumed automatically after completed installation.
Note
- If possible, avoid handling the car, its charging cable and other functions during the installation.
- If you need to enter the car while installation is in progress, you must use the key blade.
- The car's anti-theft alarm is disarmed during installation in order to avoid false alarms.
Always read through what the update contains so that you know how the car and its functions are affected.
If the installation fails, the car's systems are reset to the last installed version.
