Charging your smartphone

The wireless smartphone charging system charges only Qi-enabled smartphones (). Visit your smartphone manufacturer’s website to check whether your smartphone supports the Qi technology.

The wireless charging process starts when you put a Qi-enabled smartphone on the wireless charging unit with the screen facing up.

1. The wireless smartphone charger is available when all doors are closed, and when the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.

2. Turn on the wireless charging function from the Settings menu in the instrument cluster or infotainment system.

Select:

- User Settings > Convenience > Wireless Charging System (for cluster type)
- Setup > Vehicle > Convenience > Wireless Charging System (for infotainment system type)

3. Place the smartphone on the center of the wireless charging pad. The indicator light is orange when the smartphone is charging and turns blue when phone charging is complete.

Remove other items, including the smart key and the card key from the wireless charging pad.

If your smartphone is not charging:

- Move the smartphone on the charging pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.

The indicator light blinks orange for 10 seconds if there is a malfunction in the wireless charging system.

The system warns you with a message on the cluster display if the smartphone is still on the wireless charging unit after the vehicle is turned OFF and the front door is opened.
