4515-11. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
5
Audio
Station interference: When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
■SiriusXM*
Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal
objects, may adversely affect
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
 Alternation or modifications
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to
operate the equipment.
*: This function is not made avail-
able in some countries or areas.

• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition- ing system is set at high.

accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.

• Repeatedly flashes 4 times continuously (Orange)
■The wireless charger can be
operated when
The engine switch is in ACC or ON.
■Usable portable devices
Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible
devices.
However, not all Qi standard
devices and compat ibility are guar-
anteed.
Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically s upplied portable
devices of no more than 5W.
■When covers and accessories
are attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where
cover and accessories not able to
handle Qi are attached to the porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover and acces sory, it may not
be possible to charge. When
charging is not performed even with
the portable devic e placed on the
charge area, remove the cover and
accessories.
■While charging, noise enters
the AM radio
Turn off the wireless charger and
confirm that the noise has
decreased. If the noise decreases,
continuously pushing the power
supply switch of the wireless char-
ger for 2 seconds, the frequency of
the charger can be changed and the
noise can be reduced.Also, on that
occasion, the operation indicator light will flash or
ange 2 times.
■Important points of the wireless
charger
●If the electronic key cannot be
detected within the vehicle inte-
rior, charging cannot be done.
When the door is opened and
closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless
charging device and portable
device will get warmer, however
this is not a malfunction.
When a portable device gets
warm while char ging, charging
may stop due to the protection
function on the portable device
side. In this case, when the tem-
perature of the portable device
drops significantly, charge again.
●Depending on usa ge of the porta-
ble device, it may not be fully
charged. This is not a malfunction.
●When using a mobile phone near
a wireless charge r, the call sensi-
tivity and communication speed
may be reduced.
■Operation sounds
When the power supply is turned
on, while searching for the portable
device a sound will be produced,
however this is not a malfunction.
