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 the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System, select Convenience, then Wireless Charging System for Mobile Devices
  2. Place a compatible smartphone on the center of the charging pad
  3. The 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:

  • The smartphone must be a compatible phone with Qi™ function available 
  • Wireless charging must be enabled in user settings 
  • If wireless charging does not work, move the 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 
  • For wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding rear hatch) must be closed & the Smart Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle 

Reminders:

  • The smartphone must be a Qi™ certified compatible smartphone with Qi™ function available. Some smartphone models are not Qi™ certified, which may affect the availability, speed or performance of the wireless charging
  • Wireless charging technology allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging. 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. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use 
  • 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
