When your car is connected to the internet, it can receive over-the-air1 updates to keep the car's software up to date. The car will tell you when there is an update available to download and install by displaying a notification.
You can also check for new software updates by going to in settings.
Downloading software updates
To be able to download a software update, your car must be connected to mobile internet and you must have approved the use of connected services. Your car downloads the update using a mobile network.
Note
Installing software updates
When a new software update is available, the car will download the update but it won't install it for you. You need to start the installation yourself, either via a notification in the centre display or in the software update view. You can also choose to postpone the update so that it installs at a later time.
You can't use your car's functions while a software update is installing, so make sure that you don't need to use your car at all while installing the update. The installation process only starts after you get out of your car and lock it. If you don't lock your car within a few minutes of starting the installation, the update will be cancelled and you can try to install it again later.
