WIRELESS SMARTPHONE CHARGING SYSTEM*

Charge a compatible Qi™ certified smartphone wirelessly by placing it on the charging pad at the front of the console, near the Multimedia USB ports and the charging indicator, while the ignition is on.

  1. Enable Wireless Charging in Vehicle Settings in the infotainment system, select CONVENIENCE, then WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICES
  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 

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 
  • 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 
  • Removing the phone case may improve charging efficiency and ensure a secure connection

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
  • If driver door is opened, charging will be disabled
  • Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the charging area
  • Wireless charging technology allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibility varies 
  • The wireless charger uses inductive charging, which is less efficient than conventional charging through a cable 
  • Charging Performance: Device position on the wireless charging system can affect charging performance. Other factors that may affect the charging rate include foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
