Starting updates

Select one of the installation options in Download Center's list of available updates.

The selected software begins downloading.

During the download phase, the update can be canceled by tapping the X next to the selected software. Once the download is finished and the installation has started, it will no longer be possible to cancel the update.

 Note

The speed of other connected services may be affected during the download. The download can be canceled and started again at a later time, or the update can be prioritized by switching off other connected services, such as Internet radio.

If the ignition is switched off and the vehicle is exited, the update will resume the next time the vehicle is used.
