If the wireless charging does not work, gently move your smartphone around the pad until the charging indicator light turns orange.
Depending on the smartphone, 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 smartphone from the pad and replace it on the pad again, or double-check the charging status. If you leave the smartphone on the charging pad when the vehicle is turned off, the vehicle will alert you through warning messages and sound (applicable for vehicles with the voice guidance function) after the ‘Goodbye’ function on the instrument cluster ends. For some manufacturers’ smartphones, the system may not warn you even though the smartphone is left on the wireless charging unit. This is due to the particular characteristic of the smartphone 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 permissible by law. These should never be used during the operation of the vehicle.

To prevent liquid from damaging the wireless smartphone charging sys-tem in your vehicle, be sure not to spill liquid over the charging system when charging your phone.

CAUTION
Metal in Wireless Charging System If any metallic object such as a coin is located between the wireless charging system and the smartphone, 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 smartphone and the charging pad, immediately remove the smartphone. Remove the metallic object after it has cooled down.

NOTICE

•  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 bulky accessory cover on the smartphone.
•  The wireless charging will stop when using the wireless smart key search function to prevent radio wave disruption.

•  For smartphones without a built-in wireless charging system, an appropriate accessory has to be equipped in order to use the vehicle’s wireless charging system.
•  Certain smartphones may display messages on a weak current. This is due to the particular characteristics of that smartphone and does not imply a malfunction of the wireless charging function.
•  The indicator light of some manufacturers’ smartphones may still be orange after the smartphone is fully charged. This is due to the particular characteristic of the smartphone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging.
•  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.
•  The wireless smartphone charging system may not support certain smartphones that are  not verified for QI specification
  When placing your smartphone on the charging pad, position the phone in the middle of the pad for maximum efficiency.
  If your smartphone 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 smartphones with a self-protection feature, the wireless charging speed may decrease, and the charging may stop.
