This system allows wireless charging of a 
portable device such as a smartphone, using the 
magnetic induction principle, in accordance with 
the Qi 1.1 standard.
The portable device to be charged must be 
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design 
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
A mat can also be used provided that it is 
approved by the Manufacturer.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and 
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Start system, the 
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted

off.
Charging
► With the charging area clear, place a device 
in its centre.
 
 
When the portable device is detected, the 
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It 
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is 
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge  multiple devices simultaneously.
Do not leave metal objects (e.g. coins, 
keys, vehicle remote control) in the 
charging area while a device is being charged 
- Risk of overheating or interrupting the 
charging!
When using applications for a long time 
in combination with wireless charging, 
some smartphones may switch to thermal 
safety and cause some functions to stop.
