USB Power Supply

CAUTION

• The specification of a USB terminal that can be used is the Type-A and Type-C. If a different specification of the terminal is con-nected, a power supply or charging may not be possible, or the device may malfunction.
• There is a risk that a connected device may malfunction or data may be damaged. The connection of a device shall be performed at your responsibility.
• To avoid an electric shock or a malfunction, observe the following precautions.
  • Do not connect a USB hub.
  • Do not insert any metal or other foreign object into the USB terminal.
  • Do not spill water or other liquid on the USB terminal.
• Be careful not to pull the connected cable. Doing so could break the USB terminal and the connected device.
• If a device is connected for a long time when the engine is not running, doing so may cause the risk of a discharged battery. Even when the engine is running, we recommend that you do not connect a device for an unnecessarily long time.
• Do not connect a malfunctioning device. Doing so may cause the risk of smoke and fire.

NOTE

• The rated voltage of each USB terminal is 5 V. For details about the maximum rated power, refer to “How to Use the USB Power Supply” P286. Before connecting a device, be sure to read the instruction manual of the device and check whether or not this specification of the output is supported by the device. If a device that requires power exceeding the maximum rating is connected, a power supply or charging may not be possible. Even if charging could be completed, the time required for charging may be longer than when the genuine charger for that device is used.
• Depending on the device, charging may be possible only when a special cable is used. In this case, be sure to connect the device using the special cable.
• When a device that communicates with a PC is connected, power supply or charging may not be possible.
• When connect a device for charging, disconnect the device promptly after charging is completed.

Wireless Charger (If Equipped)
To charge a cell phone, smartphone or a similar mobile device compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard, place the device in the charging area located below the center information display.
The “Qi” logo is a trademark of the Wireless Power Consortium.

1. Indicator light
2. Power switch
3. Charging area

NOTE
Mobile devices and wireless chargers contain coils for charging. These coils allow the wireless charging system to charge a mobile device with a high level of charging efficiency. When your device is in the charging area, the wireless charger detects it and aligns an integrated moving coil with the coil in your device for charging. If vehicle vibration causes the two coils to become misaligned while the vehicle is in motion, the moving coil of the wireless charger automatically repositions itself and resumes charging.

However, if the mobile device moves out of the charging area, charging will automatically stop.

How to Use the Wireless Charger

1. The wireless charger operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
2. Press the power switch once to turn on the wireless charger. When the wireless charger is ON, the indicator light illuminates in green, and when the wireless charger is OFF, the indicator light turns off.
3. Place the mobile device so that the screen or keypad is facing up (the charging surface is facing downward). The centre of the device must also be aligned with the centre of the charging area. Depending on the mobile device, the charging coil may not be in the center of the device. In such cases, place the mobile device so that its charging coil is in the center of the charging area. The indicator light illuminates in orange during charging. If the indicator light does not illuminate in orange and device charging does not occur, move the device to the center of the charging area.
4. The indicator light illuminates in green when charging is complete.

NOTE
The power status of the wireless charger is stored even when the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position.

How to use the quick charge
The following types of mobile devices support quick charging as opposed to normal charging (5 W).
Mobile devices compliant with WPC*
Ver. 1.2.4 and compatible with fast chargers can be charged up to 10 W.
iPhone 8 (or later) with an iOS version compliant with WPC* Ver. 1.2.4 and compatible with 7.5 W charging.

* WPC: Wireless Power Consortium

1. Press the power switch three times to change to the quick-charging mode while your mobile device is charging in normal mode. The indicator light will change from orange to alternating green and orange when the wireless charger switches to the quick-charging mode.
2. When charging is complete, the quick-charging mode ends. To restart quick-charging, switch to the quick-charging mode again.
