{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pad before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and
charging pad 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 charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object
to cool before removing it from
the charging pad, 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 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
$
displays on theVon the
infotainment display. This
indicates that the smartphone
is properly positioned and
charging. 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.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.
If
$does not appear on the
infotainment display:
1. Remove the smartphone from the pocket and wait
three seconds.
2. Turn the smartphone 180 degrees and insert it back
