NOTICE
• The wireless smart phone charging
system may not support certain
smart phones, which are not verified
for the Qi specification (
).
• High speed wireless charging can
be activated only when the cellular
phones equipped with a wireless

pad.
• During wireless charging, the
internal fan operates to prevent the
charging pad from becoming hot.
This may cause fan noise.
• When placing your smart phone on
the charging pad, position the phone
in the middle of the mat for optimal
charging performance. If your smart
phone is off to the side, the charging
rate may be less and in some cases
the smart phone may experience
higher heat conduction.
• In some cases, the wireless charging
may stop temporarily when the
smart key is used, either when
starting the vehicle or locking/
unlocking the doors, etc.
• When charging certain smart
phones, the charging indicator may
not change to blue when the smart
phone is fully charged.
• The wireless charging process may
temporarily stop, when temperature
abnormally increases inside the
wireless smart phone charging
system. The wireless charging
process restarts, when 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 smart phone
charging system and smart phone. •
When charging some smart phones
with a self-protection feature,
the wireless charging speed may
decrease and the wireless charging
may stop.
• If the smart phone has a thick cover,
the wireless charging may not be
possible.
• If the smart phone is not completely
contacting the charging pad,
wireless charging may not operate
properly.
• Some magnetic items like credit
cards, phone cards or rail tickets may
be damaged if left with the smart
phone during the charging process.
• When any smart phone without
a wireless charging function or a
metallic object is placed on the
charging pad, a small noise may
sound. This small sound is due to the
vehicle discerning compatibility of
the object placed on the charging
pad. It does not affect your vehicle or
the smart phone in any way.
• If some metallic items such as coins
and other metallic substances exist
between the wireless charging
system and the cell phone, the
