- Charging pad
Firmly close all doors, and make sure to
turn ON the ignition switch or press the
ENGINE START/STOP button. To start
wireless charging, place the smart
phone equipped with wireless charging
function on the wireless charging pad.
For best wireless charging results, place
the smart phone on the center of the
charging pad.
The wireless charging system is
designed for one smart phone equipped
with QI only. Please refer to the smart
phone accessory cover or the smart
phone manufacturer homepage to
check whether your smart phone supports
QI function.
WARNING
If any metallic object such as coins is
located between the wireless charging system and the smart
phone, the
charging may be disrupted. Also, the
metallic object may heat up.
Wireless smart phone charging
- Remove any object on the smart
phone charging pad including the
smart key. If there is any foreign
object on the pad other than a smart
phone, the wireless charging function
may not operate properly.
- Place the smart phone on the center
of the wireless charging pad.
- The indicator light will change to
orange once the wireless charging
begins. After the charging is complete,
the orange light will change to
green.
- You can choose to turn the wireless
charging function to either ON or OFF
by selecting the USM on the instrument
cluster. (Please refer to "Instrument
cluster" for
details).
If the wireless charging does not work,
gently move your smart phone around
the pad until the charging indicator light
turns yellow. Depending on the smart
phone, 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 smart phone
from the pad and replace it on the pad
again, or double check the charging status.
If you leave the smart phone 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 'Good
bye' function
on the instrument cluster ends.
For some manufacturers' smart phones,
the system may not warn you even
though the smart phone is left on the
wireless charging unit. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the smart
phone and not a malfunction of the
wireless charging.
WARNING
Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can result in a
loss of vehicle control that may lead to
an accident, severe bodily injury or
death. The driver's primary responsibility
is in the safe and legal operation of a
vehicle. Any use of handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle systems that
take the driver's eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe operation of a
vehicle are not permissable by law.
These should never be used during the
operation of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Liquid in wireless charging system
To prevent liquid from damaging the
wireless smart phone charging system in
your vehicle, be sure not to spill liquid
over the charging system.
CAUTION
Metal in wireless charging system
If any metallic object such as a coin is
located between the wireless charging
system and the smart phone, the
charging may be disrupted. Also, the
metallic object may heat up and potentially
damage the charging system. If
there is any metallic object between the
smart phone and the charging pad,
immediately remove the smart phone.
Remove the metallic object after it has
cooled down.
CAUTION
- When the interior temperature of the
wireless charging system rises above
a set temperature, the wireless
charging will cease to function. After
the interior temperature drops below
the threshold, the wireless charging
function will resume.
- The wireless charging may not function
properly when there is a heavy
accessory cover on the smart phone.
- The wireless charging will stop when
using the wireless smart key search
function to prevent radio wave disruption.
- The wireless charging will stop when
the smart key is moved out of the
vehicle with the vehicle in ON.
- The wireless charging will stop when
any of the doors are opened (applicable
for vehicles equipped with smart
keys).
- The wireless charging will stop when
the vehicle is turned OFF.
- The wireless charging will stop when
the smart phone is not in complete
contact with the wireless charging
pad.
- Items equipped with magnetic components
such as credit card, telephone
card, bankbook or any
transportation ticket may become
damaged during wireless charging.
- Place the smart phone on the center
of the charge pad for best results. The
smart phone may not charge when
placed near the rim of the charging pad. When the smart
phone does get
charged, it may heat up excessively.
- For smart phones without built-in
wireless charging system, an appropriate
accessory has to be equipped
in order to use the vehicle's wireless
charging system.
- Certain smart phones may display
messages on a weak current. This is
due to the particular characteristics of
that smart phone, and does not imply
a malfunction of the wireless charging
function.
- The indicator light of some manufacturers'
smart phones may still be
orange after the smart phone is fully
charged. This is due to the particular
characteristic of the smart phone and
not a malfunction of the wireless
charging.
- When any smart phone without a
wireless charging function or a metallic
object is placed on the charging
pad, a small noise may sound. This
small noise is due to the vehicle discerning
compatibility of the object
placed on the charging pad. It does
not affect your vehicle or the smart
phone in any way.
- The wireless cellular phone charging
system may not support certain cellular
phones, which are not verified for
the Qi specification (
).
- When placing your smart phone on
the charging pad, position the phone
in the middle of the pad for maximum
efficiency.
If your smart phone is off to the side,
the charging speed may slow down,
and in some cases, your phone may
experience higher heat conduction.
- When charging some smart phones
with a self-protection feature, the
wireless charging speed may
decrease, and the charging may stop.
- A smart phone that supports the wireless
charging can only be charged
wirelessly.
- The wireless charging pad has an
internal cooling system which can create
noise to keep your phone cool
while it charges.
