interruptions in charging.
Charging could be interrupted, degraded,
or could stop if any of the following occur:
• The system detects a foreign object.
• The device is misaligned on the
charging area.
• The device moves on the active
charging area when the vehicle is in
motion. •
The vehicle ambient temperature is too
high.
• You attempt to charge a non-Qi
compatible device on the wireless
charger.
Note: During charging, the device and the
charger could heat up, this is normal. If the
battery gets hotter than usual, the device
may stop charging.
LOCATING THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER The charging area is on the
center console or in the media
bin below the instrument panel.
