Firmly close all doors, and turn the
vehicle on. To start wireless
charging, place the smart phone
capable of wireless charging on the
wireless charging pad.

For best wireless charging results,
place the smart phone on the center
of the charging pad.

The wireless charging system is
designed for one smart phone
equipped with QI. Please refer to the
smart phone accessory cover or the
smart phone manufacturer homep-
age to check whether your smart
phone supports QI function.

If the wireless charging does not
work, gently move your smart
phone around the pad until the
charging indicator light turns
orange.

Depending on the smart phone, the
charging indicator light may not
turn green even after the charging
is complete.

If the wireless charging is not func-
tioning properly, the orange light
will blink and flash for ten seconds
then turn off. In such cases, remove
the smart phone from the pad and
replace it on the pad again, or dou-
ble check the charging status.

If you leave the smart phone on the
charging pad when the vehicle is
turned off, the vehicle will alert you
through warning messages and
sound (applicable for vehicles with
the voice guidance function) after
the 'Goodbye' function on the
instrument cluster ends.

For some manufacturers' smart
phones, the system may not warn
you even though the smart phone is
left on the wireless charging unit.
This is due to the particular charac-
teristic of the smart phone and not
a malfunction of the wireless
charging.

WARNING

Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can result in
a loss of vehicle control that may
lead to an accident, severe bodily
injury, and death. The driver's pri-
mary responsibility is in the safe
and legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices, other
equipment, or vehicle systems
which take the driver's eyes, atten-
tion and focus away from the safe
operation of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law should never
be used during operation of the
vehicle.

Interior features

䳜 The indicator light of some manu-

facturers' smart phones may still
be orange 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.

䳜 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 compatibil-
ity of the object placed on the
charging pad. It does not affect
your vehicle or the smart phone in
any way.

䳜 The wireless cellular phone

charging system may not support
certain cellular phones, which are

not verified for Qi specification

.

䳜 When placing your cellular phone

on the charging mat, position the
phone in the middle of the mat
for optimal charging performance.
If your cell phone is off to the
side, the charging rate may be
less and in some cases the cell
phone may experience higher
heat conduction.

䳜 When charging some cellular

phones with a self-protection
feature, the wireless charging
speed may decrease and the
wireless charging may stop.
