Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the charging area

This vehicle is equipped with wireless charging technology which allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibilit y varies

Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through cable As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
• Charging Performance: Your device’s position on the wireless charging system can affect charging per formance Other factors that may affect the charging rate include foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
•If driver door is opened, charging will be disabled

The indicator light of some manufacturer ’s smar t phones may still be orange after the smar t phone is fully charged This is due to the par ticular characteristic of the smar tphone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging
•Do not place smar t key on the wireless charging pad It may cause smar t key bat ter y discharge
•For wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding rear hatch) must be closed and the Smar t Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle
•For best results, place smar t-phone on the center of the charging pad
•If wireless charging does not work, move smar tphone around the pad until the charging indicator turns amber
•Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the charging area
