✽

✽

NOTICE

• Securely close the tray cover when

using the wireless smart phone
charge function.

• Close the tray cover when the

smart phone is placed in it at all
times. If the vehicle is in motion
without the tray cover closed, it is
more likely that the driver may
use the smart phone. The use of
smart phones while driving may
lead to possible injuries and acci-
dents.

• If it is not possible to close the tray

cover due to the size of the smart
phone, do not use the wireless
smart phone charging function at
all.

• When the tray cover is broken, do

not use the wireless charging func-
tion before the tray cover is
repaired.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• When the interior temperature of

the wireless charging system rises
above a set temperature, the wire-
less charging will cease to func-
tion. After the interior tempera-
ture drops below the threshold,
the wireless charging function will
resume.

• The wireless charging may not

function properly when there is a
heavy accessory cover on the
smart phone.
The wireless charging will stop
when the smart phone is not in
complete contact with the wireless
charging pad.

• The smart key detection feature in

operation could temporarily stop
charging.
(When turning on ignition, open-
ing doors, or closing doors)

• The wireless charging will stop

when the vehicle is turned OFF.

Features of your vehicle

(Continued)
• Items equipped with magnetic

components such as credit card,
telephone card, bankbook, any
transportation ticket and such
may become damaged during
wireless charging.

• Place the smart phone on the cen-

ter of the charge pad for best
results. The smart phone may not
charge when placed near the rim
of the charging pad. When the
smart phone does get charged, it
may heat up excessively.

• For smart phones without built-in

wireless charging system, an
appropriate accessory has to be
equipped.

• Cellphones without the certifica-

tion for wireless charging (

)

could fail to charge.

• The self-protection feature

equipped in some mobile phones
could slow down or stop charging.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• The indicator light of some manu-

facturers’ smart phones may still
be yellow after the smart phone is
fully charged. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging.

• When any smart phone without a

wireless charging function or a
metallic object is placed on the
charging pad, a small noise may
sound. This small sound is due to
the vehicle discerning compatibili-
ty of the object placed on the
charging pad. It does not affect
your vehicle or the smart phone in
any way.

This device complies with part 15
of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-

ful interference, and

2. This device must accept any inter-

ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.

• Always drive slowly and turn corners

carefully when carrying items on the
roof rack. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natu-
ral causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items loaded on
the roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof rack and cause damage to your
vehicle or others around you.

• To prevent damage or loss of cargo

while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.

WARNING

- Driving with

roof load

Always drive slow and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. The vehi-
cle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack.
