NOTICE

The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the user's manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.

If the wireless charging does not work, gently move your smartphone around the pad until the charging indicator light turns yellow. Depending on the smartphone, the charging indicator light may not turn green even after the charging is complete.

If the wireless charging is not functioning properly, the orange light will blink and flash for ten seconds then turn off. In such cases, remove the smartphone from the pad and replace it on the pad, or double check the charging status.

If you leave the smartphone on the charging pad when the vehicle ignition is in OFF, the vehicle will alert you through warning messages and sound (applicable for vehicles with voice guidance function) after the 'Good bye' function on the instrument cluster ends.

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

WARNING

Distracted driving

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

CAUTION

Liquid in wireless charging system

To prevent liquid from damaging the wireless smartphone charging system, be sure not to spill liquid on the charging system.

CAUTION

Metal in wireless charging system

If there is any metallic object between the smart phone and the charging pad, immediately remove the smartphone. Remove the metallic object after it has cooled down.

CAUTION

  • When the temperature of the wireless charging system rises above a set temperature, the wireless charging will cease to function. After the interior temperature drops below the threshold, the wireless charging function will resume.

  • The wireless charging may not function properly when there is a heavy accessory cover on the smartphone.

  • The wireless charging will stop when using the wireless smart key search function to prevent radio wave disruption.

  • Items equipped with magnetic components such as credit card, telephone card, bankbook or any transportation ticket may become damaged during wireless charging.

  • Place the smartphone on the center of the charge pad for best results. The smartphone may not charge when placed near the rim of the charging pad. When the smartphone is charged, it may heat up excessively.

  • For smartphones without built-in wireless charging system, an appropriate accessory is required to use the wireless charging system.

  • Certain smart phones may display messages on a weak current. This is due to the particular characteristics of that smart phone, and does not imply a malfunction of the wireless charging function.

  • The indicator light of some manufacturers' 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 malfunction of the wireless charging.

  • 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 noise 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.

  • The wireless cellular phone charging system may not support certain cellular 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 pad for maximum efficiency.

    If your smart phone is off to the side, the charging speed may slow down, and in some cases, your phone may experience higher heat conduction.

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

  • A smart phone that supports the wireless charging can only be charged wirelessly.
