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 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 and the Smart Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle
