Wireless Cellular Phone
Charging System (if equipped)
ODN8059223
[A]: Indicator light, [B]: Charging pad
On certain models, the vehicle comes
equipped with a wireless cellular phone
charger.
The system is available when all doors
are closed, and when the ignition switch is ON.
To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones. Read the label on the
cellular phone accessory cover or visit
your cellular phone manufacturer’s
website to check whether your cellular
phone supports the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellular
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 cellular phone on the center of
the charging pad (
).
2. The indicator light is orange when the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when
phone charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wireless charging function in the user settings
mode on the instrument cluster. For
further information, refer to the “LCD
Display Modes” in this chapter.
If your cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the cellular phone on the charging pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.
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 cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a message
on the LCD display if the cellular phone
is still on the wireless charging unit after
the engine is turned OFF and the front door is opened.
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 cellular phone charging system may not support certain
cellular phones, which are not
verified for the Qi specification (
).
• When placing your cellular phone on the charging mat, position the
phone in the middle of the mat for
optimal charging performance. If
your cellular phone is off to the side,
the charging rate may be less and in
some cases the cellular phone may
experience higher heat conduction.
• In some cases, the wireless charging may stop temporarily when the
Remote Key or Smart Key is used,
either when starting the vehicle or
locking/unlocking the doors, etc.
• When charging certain cellular phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when the
cellular phone is fully charged.

Convenience Features

• The wireless charging process may
temporarily stop, when temperature
abnormally increases inside the
wireless cellular phone charging
system. Stop the charging cellular
phone and wait until 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 cellular phone
charging system and the cellular phone.
• When charging some cellular phones with a self-protection feature,
the wireless charging speed may
decrease and the wireless charging
may stop.
• If the cellular phone has a thick cover, the wireless charging may not be possible.
• If the cellular 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 cellular
phone during the charging process.
• When any cellular 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 cellular phone in any way.
Information
If the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the charging also stops.

Floor Mat Anchor(s)
ALWAYS use the Floor Mat Anchors to
attach the front floor mats to the vehicle.
The anchors on the front floor carpet
keep the floor mats from sliding forward.
WARNING
Do not overlay additional mats or liners
over the floor mats. If using All Weather
mats, remove the carpeted floor mats
before installing them. Only use floor
mats designed to connect to the
anchors.
WARNING
The following must be observed when
installing ANY floor mat to the vehicle. • Ensure to remove a protective
film attached on the carpet
before attaching a floor mat on
the front floor carpet. Otherwise,
the floor mat may move freely on
the protective film and it could
result in unintentional braking or
accelerating.
• Ensure that the floor mats are
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 (e.g. 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.
