1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPDATING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM This document describes the procedure for updating the map system MAPCARE for SMEG/RT6

2 1) PREPARING YOUR USB STICK Tip: We recommend using a USB stick with a minimum 16 GB capacity. (Some mapping updates requires a 32 GB capacity.) The USB stick must be empty and formatted to FAT32. If you are unsure of how to proceed, here is how to format your USB stick to FAT32 Caution: Reinitialise the USB key before downloading any updates. Formatting it erases any files present on the USB key For Microsoft Windows users: Insert the USB key into the computer Run File Explorer (press the "Windows" and "E" keys simultaneously) Right-click the removable disk involved Left-click "Format" Check the "File System": FAT32 (default) Left-click "Start" For Apple users: Plug the USB stick into your computer. Open the Disk Utility app in the Utilities folder in the Apps folder. Select your USB stick in External. Select the MS DOS (FAT) format and Master Boot Record (MBR). Left click on Delete. NB: The system files generated on the USB stick by Apple when you plug it into your Mac may disrupt its later use in your vehicle. To solve this problem, we recommend you use the CleanMyDrive app available free at the App Store ( 2/id ?mt=12 ) 2) DOWNLOAD THE MAP (40' or more depending on internet speed) To update your mapping, you need to download a file: The mapping update, compressed in.zip format: EX : NB: The file download time on your computer may range from several tens of minutes to several hours depending on your internet connection (equipment, speed). Once you have downloaded the files on your computer, you need to extract the files from the.tar folder to be copied on to your USB stick.

3 3) UNZIPPING THE DOWNLOADED FILE Here is how to unzip the required files from the.tar file downloaded on your computer: For Microsoft Windows users: Right-click on the file and select your unzip tool (e.g. 7 Zip) and click on Extract here to save the files on your computer. If you don t have an unzip tool, we recommend that you install 7 Zip on your computer beforehand ( ) For Apple users: We recommend you use the Unarchiver app available free at the App Store ( The extraction will generate an SWL folder on your computer containing the update files, as well as an UpdateInfo.xml file, which you will not need later. 4) COPYING THE FILES ON TO YOUR USB STICK: You now need to copy the extracted files on to your USB stick: Make sure your USB stick contains the 6 folders and 13 files below: You are now ready to update your car's mapping using your USB stick and the DRM activation key.

4 5) TRANSFER THE UPDATES INTO THE VEHICLE Caution: It is essential to keep the engine running while the updates are being installed. It is recommended not to drive while the updates are being installed. Park your car in the open air rather than a confined space (e.g. a garage). Disable the "Stop & Start" function to prevent the vehicle going into standby mode, particularly if the vehicle is not moving Never remove the key from the USB port of the vehicle before the update process has finished The GPS function will not be available during the update. Do not remove the USB stick from the car before the update process is complete. Do not turn off your engine before the update process is complete. Step 5.1: Insert the key containing the updated mapping into the USB port of the navigation system. Depending on the version of your system, the "List of map databases" will automatically be displayed. You can, in this case, skip to the next step. Step 5.2: In case the update is not detected automatically, press the "NAV" button on the console. Select "Manage card" and confirm. Select " Maps and update" and confirm. Step 5.3: Select "Update mapping" on the screen listing the cartographic databases Step 5.4: Enter the activation key generated in Step 3 and then press "OK" Step 5.5: Wait during the loading of the mapping.
