•The system can register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices
•Volume level bet ween different audio modes:
-When switching bet ween audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc ), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to Bluetooth® Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
-When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
•Prolonged use of the audio system in ACC mode of the Engine Star t/Stop but ton may drain the vehicle’s battery
•A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the navigation system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent bat ter y discharge

•
This vehicle is equipped with wireless charging technology which allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibilit y varies
•
Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through cable As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
• Charging Performance: Your device’s position on the wireless charging system can affect charging per formance Other factors that may affect the charging rate include foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
•If driver door is opened, charging will be disabled
•
The indicator light of some manufacturer ’s smar t phones may still be orange after the smar t phone is fully charged This is due to the par ticular characteristic of the smar tphone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging
•Do not place smar t key on the wireless charging pad It may cause smar t key bat ter y discharge
•For wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding rear hatch) must be closed and the Smar t Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle
•For best results, place smar t-phone on the center of the charging pad
