Wireless smartphone charger



It 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.
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 Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging

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 any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.
