WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi
wireless charging pad located inside of the center
console. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone.
Qi is a standard that allows wireless charging of
your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
wireless charging. If the phone is not equipped
with Qi wireless charging functionality, an
aftermarket sleeve or a specialized back plate can
be purchased from your mobile phone provider or
a local electronics retailer. Please see your
phone’s owner’s manual for further information. The wireless charging pad is equipped with an
anti-slip mat, a cradle to hold your mobile phone in
place, and an LED indicator light.
LED Indicator Status:
NOTE:Using a phone case may interfere with wireless
charging.
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a
device.
Blue Light: Device is detected, and is charging.
Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign
object is detected.
NOTE:The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START
position and all vehicle doors must be closed for
the wireless charging pad to operate.
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOWS
The window controls on the driver's door control all
the door windows.

Power Window Switches

The passenger door windows can also be operated
by using the single window controls on the
passenger door trim panel. The window controls
will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or
ON/RUN position.
To open the window part way (manually), push the
window switch down briefly and release.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the
charging pad or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it.
Doing so can cause excessive heat buildup and
damage to the fob. Placing the fob in close
proximity of the charging pad blocks the fob from
being detected by the vehicle and prevents the
vehicle from starting.
