• If it is not possible to close the tray
cover due to the size of your smart
phone or because the tray cover
has been broken, do not use the
wireless smart phone charging
function.
• When the interior temperature of the wireless charging system rises
above a set temperature, the wire-
less charging will cease to func-
tion. After the interior tempera-
ture drops below the threshold,
the wireless charging function will
resume.
• The wireless charging may not function properly when there is a
heavy accessory cover on the
smart phone.
• The wireless charging will stop when using the wireless smart key
search function to prevent radio
wave disruption.
• The wireless charging will stop when the smart key is moved out
of the vehicle with the ignition in
ON. (Continued)(Continued)
• The wireless charging will stop
when any of the doors is opened
(applicable for vehicles equipped
with smart keys).
• The wireless charging will stop when the vehicle is turned OFF.
• The wireless charging will stop when the smart phone is not in
complete contact with the wireless
charging pad.
• Items equipped with magnetic components such as a credit card,
telephone card, bankbook or a

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 yellow 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 sys-
tem.
• When any smart phone without a wireless charging function or a
metallic object is placed on the

The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON

before shifting into P (Park). This
position locks the transmission and
prevents the drive wheels from rotat-
ing.

cle is in motion will cause the drive
wheels to lock which will cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.

sure the shift lever is locked in
the P position and set the park-
ing brake fully. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are
not followed.CAUTION- Transmission
