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.

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 indica

tor light is orange when
the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when

charging function in the user settings
mode on the instrument cluster. For
further information, refer to the “LCD

The indicator light will blink orange for 10
seconds if there is a malfunction in the

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 y

our 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.

eless 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 an
y cellular phone without
a wireless charging function or a
metallic object is placed on the
charging pad, a small noise may
