Wireless Cellular Phone
Charging System (if equipped)
[A]: Indicator light, [B]: Charging pad
On certain models, the vehicle comes equipped with a wireless cel-
lular phone charger.
The system is available when all doors are closed, and when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer's website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellularphone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including thesmart key, from the wireless charg-
ing unit. If not, the wireless charg-
ing process may be interrupted.Place the cellular phone on the
center of the charging pad ( ).
2. The indicator light is orange when the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when
phone charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire- less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. For further information,
refer to the "LCD Display Modes"
in this chapter. If your cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.
The indicator light will blink orange for10 seconds if there is a malfunction inthe wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellularphone is still on the wireless charging
unit after the engine is turned OFFand the front door is opened.
Information
For some manufacturer's cellular
phones, the system may not warn you
even though the cellular phone is left
on the wireless charging unit. This is
due to the particular characteristic of
the cellular phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging.

N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine. Shift into P (Park) if
you need to leave your vehicle for
any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a six-gear sequence,
providing the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until
you feel the transmission downshift
to a lower gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located
on the shift lever console, allows the
driver to switch from NORMAL mode
to SPORT mode.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
later in this chapter.
S (Sport) mode
To shift into S mode, move the shiftlever from D (Drive) to the center of
the manual shift mode. The engine
and transmission control logic is
automatically optimized for sporty
driving.
In S mode, if you move the shift lever to + (up) or - (down), the gear will
change to manual shift mode. If the
shift lever is moved back into D
(Drive), it will change to D (Drive).
The vehicle will perform according to
the mode selected from drive mode
(NORMAL, SPORT, SMART).
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear whenthe engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle andhit people or objects.

Good Driving Practices
Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is inmotion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Do not hold the vehicle on an incline with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transmission to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake. Depressing both accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power reduc-
tion to assure vehicle deceleration.
Vehicle acceleration will resume
after the brake pedal is released.
When driving in Manual Shift Mode, slow down before shifting to
a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, becareful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of
time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start
a fire.
The exhaust gas and the
exhaust system are very hot.
Keep away from the exhaustsystem components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.WARNING
