• Smart phones of some manufac-
turers may display messages on
weak current. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and does not imply a
malfunction on wireless charging
function.
• The indicator light of some manu- facturers’ smart phones may still
be orange after the smart phone is
fully charged. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging.
• 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 compatibili-
ty of the object placed on the
charging pad. It does not affect
your vehicle or the smart phone in
any way. This device complies with part 15

dual clutch transmission.
During the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km), you may feel that the vehicle
may not be smooth when acceler-
ating at low speed. During this
break-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new vehi-
cle is continuously optimized.DCT warning messages
