Over-the-air updates
Introduction
Over-the-air updates allow you to al-
ways keep your vehicle up to date, for
example in order to optimise function-
ality and for protection against mal-
ware.
How can you recognise that an over-
the-air update is available?
An available over-the-air update is dis-
played in the Infotainment system.
If several over-the-air updates are available
for the vehicle simultaneously, one over-
the-air update must be completed suc-
cessfully before the next over-the-air up-
date can be performed.
Over-the-air updates should be car-
ried out promptly in your own interest.
If the driver repeatedly rejects the over-the-
air update, it is then necessary to visit
a suitably qualified workshop.

trol unit will not func
