  2.  Place the compatible smartphone on the center of the charging pad 
  3. Indicator light may change to amber once the wireless charging begins 
  4. Once charging is complete, the amber light may change to green 

Requires Qi™ enabled device or Qi™ enabled case

Quick Tips:

  • For the wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding rear hatch) must be closed & the Smart Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle 
  • For best results, place the smartphone on the center of the charging pad 
  • Removing the phone case may improve charging efficiency and ensure a secure connection
  • If wireless charging does not work, move smartphone 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 

Reminders:

  • The smartphone must be a compatible Qi™ certified phone with Qi™ function available. Some smartphone models are not Qi™ certified, which may affect the availability, speed or performance of wireless charging
  • Wireless charging technology allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibility varies. See your Owner’s Manual for more detailed information and the back page for legal disclaimers
  • The wireless charger uses inductive charging, which is less efficient than conventional charging through a cable
  • Charging Performance: The position of your device on the wireless charging pad can affect how efficiently it charges. Performance may also be reduced by foreign objects (such as coins or pens) or thick phone cases
  • Smartphone Temperature: If you use certain smartphone applications while charging, your phone’s self-heating system may activate, which can affect charging speed or performance
  • Charging Interruption: Wireless charging will automatically stop if any door is opened or if there are foreign objects on the charging pad  
  • The charging indicator light will blink orange, for 10 seconds, if the system has malfunctioned
