IOUS PERSONAL INJURY WHEN UP-
DATING THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE:

safe well-ventilated location that is open
to the air. During the update process, if

during the software update process. If the
vehicle disconnects from the Wi-Fi connec-
tion (if so equipped), it will resume when the

updates can vary between 80 MB to

charges from your phone carrier. Please
