Safety Warning

OTA Software Download
An OTA update can be pushed to a vehicle while the vehicle is parked or being driven. There is an option for notification to the driver that the software update is being downloaded to the vehicle, the default setting is set to off. Battery SOC and OAT values are not checked before a download. These checks are only performed once the software update is downloaded and ready to be installed.
The OTA software download can occur in increments. Download will not be paused while the vehicle is being driven, it continues in the background. If the vehicle is turned off the download will continue for a maximum of 10 minutes. If the download did not complete it will continue on the next ignition cycle from where it stopped.
