GOS General Precautions:

•
•

Connect the USB cable between the GOS and
the VCI.
Connect the 16-pin DLC connector from the VCI
into the DLC located under the driver's side dash.

Make sure the battery icon at the bottom right of the GOS laptop shows at least 50%; if not,
charge the GOS or attach a battery charger.

•

Turn off all lights (Do not leave the headlight switch in auto mode) and all accessories (including
heater/air conditioner/fan , audio , heated seats, rear defroster, etc.) to ensure the battery will not
be discharged during the update.

•

Perform the update with the ignition key in the ON position . (Turn ignition key to the ON position
or press the Start-Stop button 2 times without depressing the brake pedal) .

•

Do not disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or the GOS during the update .

•

Do not start the engine or turn the ignition switch OFF during the update .

Confirm your GOS has the most recent version. If not, connect the GOS to an Internet port,
open the GOS home page and select "Update". Refer to instructions on hmaservice.com if
necessary.
If you encounter GOS related problems, call the GIT Helpline at 888-437-0308.
