When an OTA update is available and your Rivian vehicle is in Park, a prompt will appear on the centre display inviting you to begin installation.
Note: Updates can only begin if certain preconditions are met such as having the minimum level of battery charge.
There are two ways to initiate an OTA update:

You'll receive a notification and details on the update via the Rivian app and through your in-vehicle information display. Once delivered through Wi-Fi or cellular (Wi-Fi is preferred), you can perform the update installation at a time that is convenient for you. During the update, your vehicle will be inoperable and needs to be parked and have a minimum level of battery range. The duration of the update may vary, but most updates finish in about an hour.
