appropriate accessory has to be
equipped. (Continued)(Continued)
• Smart phones of some manufac-
turers may display messages on
weak current. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and does not imply a
malfunction on wireless charging
function.
• The indicator light of some manu- facturers’ 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 malfunc-
tion 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 sound is due to
the vehicle discerning compatibili-
ty of the object placed on the
charging pad. It does not affect
your vehicle or the smart phone in
any way. Clothes hanger (if equipped)
