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 for
10 seconds if there is a malfunction in
the 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 cellular
phone is still on the wireless charging
unit after the engine is turned OFF
and the front door is opened.
Information
For some manufacturers' 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. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
When placing your cellular phone on the charging mat,
position the phone in the middle
of the mat for optimal charging
performance. If your cell phone
is off to the side, the charging
rate may be less and in some
cases the cell phone may experi-
ence higher heat conduction.
In some cases, the wireless charging may stop temporarily
when the Remote Key or Smart
Key is used, either when starting
the vehicle or locking/unlocking
the doors, etc.
When charging certain cellular phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when
the cell phone is fully charged.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when tem-
perature abnormally increases
inside the wireless cellular phone
charging system. Stop the charg-
ing cellular phone and wait until
temperature falls to a certain level.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when there
is any metallic item, such as a
coin, between the wireless cellular
phone charging system and the
cellular phone.
When charging some cellular phones with a self-protection fea-
ture, the wireless charging speed
may decrease and the wireless
charging may stop.
If the cellular phone has a thick cover, the wireless charging may
not be possible.
If the cell phone is not completely contacting the charging pad, wire-
less charging may not operate
properly.
Some magnetic items like credit cards, phone cards or rail tickets
may be damaged if left with the
cellular phone during the charging
process.NOTICE

the vehicle to touch the igni-
tion switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the

tional control and braking func-
tion, which could cause an acci-
dent.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the gear is in
