Wireless Cellular Phone
Charging System (if equipped)
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
Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ACC, ON or START position.
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 cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including the
smart 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 from the
Settings menu in the AVN system
screen. Select:
- Setup →Vehicle Settings →
Convenience →Wireless
Charging
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
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.
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 mal-
function of the wireless charging.

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause uncon-
sciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or
smelled.

If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to
change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound
of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath
side of the vehicle, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible
by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is
a hazardous practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine

Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the
vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside
the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at
"Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
