[A] : Indicator light, [B] : Charging pad
On certain models, the vehicle comes equipped with a wireless smartphone charger. The system will charge compatible smartphones when all doors are closed, and when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON or START position.

To charge a cellular phone
The wireless smartphone charging system charges only Qi-enabled smartphones ( ). Read the label on the smartphone accessory cover or visit your smartphone manufacturer’s website to check whether your smartphone supports Qi technology. The wireless charging process starts when you put a Qi-enabled smartphone on the wireless charging unit. Remove other items, including the smart key, from the wireless charging unit. If not, the wireless charging process may be interrupted. Place the smartphone in the center of the charging pad. The indicator light is orange when the smartphone is charging. The indicator light will turn blue when phone charging is complete. You can turn on the wireless charging function from the Settings menu on the instrument cluster.

If your smartphone is not charging:

• Slightly change the position of the smartphone on the charging pad.
• Make sure the indicator light is orange.
• Make sure the doors are closed and the vehicle is ON.

The indicator light will blink orange for 10 seconds if there is a malfunction in the wireless charging system. In this case, temporarily stop the charging process, and re-attempt to charge your smartphone again. The system warns you with a message on the LCD display if the smartphone is still on the wireless charging unit after the vehicle is turned OFF and the front door is opened.

Information
For some manufacturers’ cellular phones, the system may not warn you even though the cellular phone is left on the wireless charging unit. This is due to the particular characteristic of the cellular phone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging.

NOTICE
The wireless smartphone charging system may not support certain smartphones, which are not verified for the Qi specification ( ). When placing your smartphone on the charging pad, position the phone in the middle of the mat for optimal charging performance. If your smartphone is off to the side, the charging rate may be less and in some cases, the smartphone may experience higher heat conduction. In some cases, the wireless charging may stop temporarily when the smart key is used, either when starting the vehicle or locking/unlocking the doors, etc. When charging certain smartphones, the charging indicator may not change to blue when the smartphone is fully charged. The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when the temperature abnormally increases inside the wireless smartphone charging system. The wireless charging process restarts, when temperature falls to a certain level. The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when there is any metallic item, such as a coin, between the wireless smartphone charging system and the smartphone.  When charging some smartphones with a self-protection feature, the wireless charging speed may decrease and the wireless charging may stop. If the smartphone has a thick cover, wireless charging may not be possible.  If the smartphone is not completely contacting the charging pad, wireless charging may not operate properly.  Some magnetic items like credit cards, phone cards or rail tickets may be damaged if left with the smartphone during the charging process. When any smartphone without a wireless charging function or a metallic object is placed on the charging pad, a small noise may sound. This small sound is due to the vehicle’s discerning compatibility of the object placed on the charging pad. It does not affect your vehicle or the smartphone in any way.

Information
If the Engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF position, the charging also stops.
