UPDATING THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS WIRELESSLY

Software Updates allow you to update your vehicle system software wirelessly. To make sure you receive all updates, set a recurring schedule and connect to Wi-Fi. See Connecting the Vehicle to a Wi-Fi Network - Vehicles With: SYNC 4. Updates may take longer if not connected to Wi-Fi, or may not download at all. Multiple connections may be required to complete a download.
Enabling Software Updates

1. Press Settings on the touchscreen.

1. Press System Updates.

1. Switch Automatic Updates on.

Note: Software Updates are enabled by default.
Note: If you do not want to receive Software Updates you can turn them off. You will not be notified of new updates.

Scheduling an Update
Scheduling an update allows you to set a convenient time for the update to complete. We recommend updating overnight when your vehicle is not in use.
Make sure your vehicle is connected and Automatic Updates is enabled.
Once you complete these steps, your schedule will be saved for future updates. As long as an update is not in process you can adjust your schedule.
Note: Some updates may be applied outside of your set schedule. Information about the unscheduled update appears on the touchscreen after it is applied.

Using the Settings Menu

1. Press Settings on the touchscreen.

1. Press System Updates.

1. Press Schedule Updates.

1. Use the controls to set the time and day of the update.

1. Save the schedule.

Note: You can set the updates to occur at any time.

Using the Status Bar Icon

When an update is available, tap the notification icon and follow the prompts on the screen. Additional Software Update icons may appear on the status bar. See Status Bar.

Applying a Software Update
You can see the progress of the update on the touchscreen. An update cannot be canceled once it has been started.
During scheduled updates you will not be able to drive your vehicle, start the vehicle, use remote controls to lock and unlock the vehicle. The alarm, central locks, and door tones are disabled. The electronic door lock will not function during an update. You can open the doors using the mechanical latch if child locks are not on. Pull the handle until it stops to use the mechanical latch. Some updates may not allow you to use your vehicle during the update process.
Note: Some updates can complete in the background, but more complex updates can take up to 45 minutes.
Note: Double locking is switched off and central locking is switched on during and after an update.
Note: If your vehicle is plugged in, charging will stop during an update and resume when the update is complete.

Software Update Requirements
If certain requirements are not met during a scheduled update, the update will be postponed. You can update your schedule if you want to retry the update sooner. The requirements for the update are as listed:

• Your vehicle is not running.
