Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Handling system updates via Download Center

Functions for Internet-connected vehicles and infotainment can be updated via Download Center. Updates can be done one at a time or all at the same time.

Searching for update

If an update is available, the message New software updates available See Download Center will be displayed in the center display's status field.

In order for system updates to be possible, the vehicle must have an Internet connection1.

  • Go to Download Center in the center display's App view.
    • If no search has been performed since the last time the infotainment system was started, a search will be initiated. No search will begin if a software download is in progress.

      A number in System updates shows how many updates are available. Tap to display a list of updates that can be installed in the vehicle.

NOTE

Data downloading can affect other services such as transfer data, e.g. web radio. If the affect on other services is experienced as problematic, the download can be interrupted. Alternatively, it may be appropriate to switch off or cancel other services.

NOTE

An update can be interrupted when the ignition is switched off and the vehicle is left.

However, the update does not have to be completed before the vehicle is left as the update is resumed the next time the vehicle is used.
