Wireless Smart Phone Charging
System
OOSN051021L
[A] : Indicator light, [B] : Charging pad
On certain models, the vehicle comes
equipped with a wireless smart phone
charger.
The system will charge compatible
smartphones when all doors are closed,
and when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON or START position.
To charge a cellular phone
The wireless smart phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
smart phones (
). Read the label on
the smart phone accessory cover or
visit your smart phone manufacturer’s
website to check whether your smart
phone supports the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled smart phone
on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including the smart key, from the wireless charging
unit. If not, the wireless charging
process may be interrupted. Place
the smart phone on the center of the
charging pad.
2. The indicator light is orange when the smart phone is charging. The indicator
light will turn blue when phone
charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wireless charging function from the Settings
menu on the instrument cluster.
If your smart phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
smart phone on the charging pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.
- Make sure the doors are closed and the vehicle is ON.
The indicator light will blink orange for 10
seconds if there is a malfunction in the
wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your smart phone again.
The system warns you with a message on
the LCD display if the smart phone is still
on the wireless charging unit after the
vehicle is turned OFF and the front door
is opened.

05
5-95
Information
For some manufacturers’ cellular phones,
the system may not warn you even though
the cellular phone is left on the wireless
charging unit. This is due to the particular
characteristic of the cellular phone and
not a malfunction of the wireless charging.
NOTICE

[The wireless smart phone charging
system may not support certain
smart phones, which are not verified
for the Qi specification (
).

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

[ In some cases, the wireless charging
may stop temporarily when the
smart key is used, either when
starting the vehicle or locking/
unlocking the doors, etc.

[ When charging certain smart
phones, the charging indicator may
not change to blue when the smart
phone is fully charged.

[ The wireless charging process may
temporarily stop, when temperature
abnormally increases inside the
wireless smart phone charging
system. The wireless charging
process restarts, when temperature
falls to a certain level.
[
The wireless charging process may
temporarily stop when there is
any metallic item, such as a coin,
between the wireless smart phone
charging system and smart phone.

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

[ If the smart phone has a thick cover,
the wireless charging may not be
possible.

[ If the smart phone is not completely
contacting the charging pad,
wireless charging may not operate
properly.

[ Some magnetic items like credit
cards, phone cards or rail tickets may
be damaged if left with the smart
phone during the charging process.

[ 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 compatibility of
the object placed on the charging
pad. It does not affect your vehicle or
the smart phone in any way.

securely attached to the vehicle’s
floor mat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.

[ Do not use ANY floor mat that cannot
be firmly attached to the vehicle’s
floor mat anchors.

[ Do not stack floor mats on top of one
another (for example, all-weather
rubber mat on top of a carpeted floor
mat). Only a single floor mat should
be installed in each position.
IMPORTANT - Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver’s side floor
mat anchors that are designed to
securely hold the floor mat in place.
To avoid any interference with pedal
operation, HYUNDAI recommends that
the HYUNDAI floor mat designed for use
in your vehicle be installed.

EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof Side Rails
OOS050028L
If your vehicle comes with roof side rails,
then roof side rails crossbars can be
installed on top of your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof side rails in such a way
that it could interfere with sunroof
operation.
NOTICE

[ When carrying cargo on the roof side
rails, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.

[ When carrying large objects on the
roof side rails, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof length or
width.
WARNING

[The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof side rails. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the load
firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof side rails may damage your
vehicle.
ROOF SIDE
RAILS 176 lbs. (80 kg)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

[ The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded onto
the roof side rails. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.

[ Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on the
roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof side rails. 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 side rails 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 side rails are
securely fastened.
