Wireless smartphone charging system (if equipped)

A wireless smartphone charging system is located in front of the centre console.

Firmly close all doors, and turn the ignition to ACC or IGN ON. To start wireless charging, place the smartphone equipped with wireless charging function on the wireless charging pad.

For best wireless charging results, place the smartphone on the centre of the charging pad.

The wireless charging system is designed for one smartphone equipped with QI only. Please refer to the smartphone accessory cover or the smartphone manufacturer homepage to check whether your smartphone supports QI function.

WARNING

If any metallic object such as coins is located between the wireless charging system and the smartphone, the charging may be disrupted. Also, the metallic object may heat up.

If the wireless charging does not work, gently move your smartphone around the pad until the charging indicator light turns amber. 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 again, 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 'Goodbye' function on the instrument cluster ends.

NOTICE

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