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 by displaying the update available symbol in the status bar. When the update is downloading, the downloading update symbol appears instead. You can also see notifications in the centre display.

You can check for new updates by going to General → System → Software updates in settings. Pressing the status bar update symbols will also take you to the software updates view.

Automatic software downloads

You will be asked if you want to enable automatic software downloads when you set up your car for the first time. You can always choose to enable or disable the automatic downloads at a later time in settings. If you decide not to enable them, you will be asked for consent to download software updates whenever they are available.

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 schedule the update so that it installs at a later time or cancel the installation after confirming it.

You can't access or use your car while a software update is installing. Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery charge and that you don't need to use your car during the installation process. The car will tell you how much remaining battery charge you need to start the installation and give you an estimation for how long it will take to install the update.

Scheduling updates

If you want to install an update at a later time, you can schedule or reschedule the installation. When scheduling an update, you set a specific time for the installation to start. You can schedule an update a maximum of 24 hours in advance of when you want it to start installing.
