Charging may not operate normally
under the following conditions:
The mobile device is fully charged.
There is foreign matter between the
mobile device and the charging area.
The temperature of the mobile device
is high.
The mobile device is placed with the
charging side facing upward.
The mobile device is placed in a
position extremely deviating from the
center of the charging area.
Your vehicle is in an area where strong
radio waves or electrical noise occur
such as near a television tower, power
plant, or airport.
The Near Field Communication (NFC)
function setting of the mobile device is
on (depends on the model of the
mobile device).
Keep the following items away from the
charging area. Otherwise the data stored
on the mobile device could be erased or
the device could malfunction.
Magnetic items such as magnets,
magnetic cards, and magnetic
recording media.
High precision devices such as
wristwatches.
Before using the Wireless Charger (Qi),
make sure to back up the data stored on
the mobile device. The data on the
mobile device could be deleted.
Do not wipe the Wireless Charger (Qi)
using oil, alcohol, or thinner, or spray
hairspray or insecticide onto it.
Otherwise, it could cause damage or
cracking.Do not leave mobile devices in the cabin.
The temperature inside the cabin may
become very hot, causing the devices to
malfunction.
NOTE
A mobile device larger than the
charging area cannot be charged. In
addition, even if the mobile device is in
the charging area, the charging
efficiency may decrease or charging
may not be possible depending on where
the mobile device is placed.
If the function to reduce noise on the
radio is used, fast charging may be
disabled depending on the mobile device
being charged.
If the LED indicator is flashing in amber
or green, the charging efficiency is low.
Check that there is no foreign matter
between the mobile device and the
charging area, and position the mobile
device near the center of the charging
area.
Depending on the mobile device case or
accessories used, the mobile device may
not charge, or the charging efficiency
may be reduced resulting in a longer
charging time. If charging does not start
even when a mobile device is placed on
the charging area, remove the mobile
device case or any accessories.
While the keyless entry is operating,
charging may stop temporarily, however,
this does not indicate a problem.
During charging, the Wireless Charger
(Qi) and the mobile device become
warm, however, this does not indicate a
problem.

If the mobile device temperature rises
during charging, charging may stop due
to the protection function of the device.
If that happens, wait until the mobile
device cools down sufficiently and then
recharge it.
When using the Wireless Charger (Qi),
applications using the Near Field
Communication (NFC) function may
activate, but this does not indicate a
problem with the Wireless Charger (Qi).

Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you feel
unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a competent service
technician do the work.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the ba ttery, read the following precautions carefully
before using the battery or inspecting it.
Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do not allow metal tools to
contact the positive (
) or negative () terminal of the battery when working near a battery.
Do not allow the positive (
) terminal to contact the vehicle body:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced during
normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An exploding battery
can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep al l flames including cigarettes and sparks away
from open battery cells.
Keep all flames and sparks away from open battery cells because hydrogen gas is
produced from open battery cells while charging the battery or adding battery fluid:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced during
normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An exploding battery
can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep al l flames including cigarettes and sparks away
from open battery cells.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It may rupture or
explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (
) terminal of the discharged
battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.
