Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have a wireless
charging pocket outside the armrest
of the center console. The system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power output of
the system is capable of charging at
a rate up to 3 amp (15W), as
requested by the compatible
smartphone. SeeRadio Frequency
Statement0356.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical
devices. If you have one, it is
recommended to consult with
your doctor before using the
wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be
active. The wireless charging
feature may not correctly indicatecharging when the vehicle is in RAP.
SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP)0181.
The operating temperature is−20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the smartphone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and the
charger will become very hot. On
the rare occasion that the
charging system does not detect
an object, and the object gets
wedged between the smartphone
and the charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object
to cool before removing it from
the charging pocket, to prevent
burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:
1. Remove all objects from the
charging pocket. The system
may not charge if there are any
objects in between the
smartphone and charging
pocket.
2. With the smartphone screen
facing the rear of the vehicle,
slowly insert the smartphone
into the charging pocket until a
green
}appears onVon the
infotainment display. This
indicates that the smartphone
is properly positioned and
charging. If
}turns yellow,

ensure that the charging
pocket is clear of any objects
and that the smartphone is
capable of wireless charging
before repositioning it. If
}
does not illuminate, the
smartphone may need to be
repositioned.
To maximize the charge rate,
ensure the smartphone is fully
seated and centered in the
holder with nothing under it.
A thick smartphone case may
prevent the wireless charger
from working, or may reduce
the charging performance. See
your dealer for additional
information.
