where provided, the USB A and C port located on the back
of the central console under the air vents are charge only.
Both USB C ports, for versions/markets where provided,
are Power Delivery 3.0, providing fast charging up to 40W.
Plugging in a smartphone device to a USB data/charge
port will activate Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay
®
features, if equipped. For further information, refer to
“Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay
®” in the Uconnect
Radio Instruction Manual.
NOTE:Two devices can be plugged in at the same time, and both
ports will provide charging capabilities. Only one port can
transfer data to the system at a time.
For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A USB port
and another device is plugged into the Type C USB port, a
message will appear and allow you to select which device
to use. Different scenarios are listed here when a non-phone
device is plugged into the smaller and larger USB ports,
and when a phone device is plugged into the smaller and
larger USB ports:

“A new device is now connected. Previous connection
was lost.”
 “(Phone Name) now connected. Previous connection
was lost.”
 “Another device is in use through the same USB port.
Please disconnect the first device to use the second
device.”
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may cause the
connection to a previous device to be lost.

54GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED
indicator light.
Place the device inside the prepared area delimited in the
mat as shown in the image. Incorrect positioning will
prevent the phone from charging.

Correct Phone Position

LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.
Device may not be compatible with the Qi
® standard.
 Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
 Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign object is
detected.
 Green Light: Device has completed battery charging
(if device is equipped to transmit this information). Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:

The presence of the NFC function active on a smart -
phone could signal malfunction anomalies.
 The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in order
for the phone to charge.
 To avoid interference with the key fob search, the wire -
less charging pad will stop charging when any door is
opened.
 Be sure to place the mobile device correctly (display
facing upward, and phone not covering the LED) on the
wireless charging pad.
 Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
 The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
 iPhone
® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft -
ware to protect the device from overheating. When the
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down to
protect the device.
 Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging
may prevent or slow the rate of charge. 
Having multiple applications open on the phone while
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may
even shut down an application that is actively running
(i.e. Apple CarPlay
®). This may also cause the phone to
overheat.
 Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to
prevent the phone from overheating during charging
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain
instances, the device may shut down for a brief period
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera -
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charging pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.
 The use of multiple wireless functions at the same time
(wireless charging, Apple CarPlay
®, Android Auto™)
could cause the device to overheat, resulting in limita -
tion of the functions or it turning off. In this case, it is
recommended to connect the system using t
he USB port.
 Do not place the key fob or any other type of metal/
magnetized object inside the mobile phone housing or
near the wireless charging pad.
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.
