Operation indicator light
*: Portable devices and wireless chargers contain charging coils.
The charging coil in the wireless
charger can be m oved within the
charge area near the center of
the charging tray. If the charging
coil inside a portable device is
detected in the charge area, the
charging coil in side the wireless
charger will move t oward it and
start charging. If the charging coil
inside a portable device moves
outside of the charge area,
charging will automatically stop.
If 2 or more porta ble devices are
placed on the charging tray, their
charging coils may not be prop-
erly detected and they may not
be charged.
■Using the wireless charger
1 Open the lid.
2 Place the portable device on
the charging tray.
Place the charging side of the por-
table device down with the center of
the device in the center of the
charge area.
Depending on the portable device,
the charging coil may not be
located in the center of the device.
In this case, place the portable
device so that its charging coil is in
the center of the charge area.
While charging, the operation indi-
cator light (orange) comes on.
If charging is not occurring, try plac-
ing the portable device as close to
the center of the charging area as
possible.
When charging is complete, the
operation indicator light (green)
comes on.
■Recharging function
 When charging is complete
and after a fixed time in the
charge suspension state,
charging restarts.
 When a portable device is
moved significantly in the
charge area, the charging coil
is disconnected and charging
is stopped momentarily. How-
ever, if there is a charging coil
in the charge area, the
charging coil inside the wire-
less charger will move toward
it and then charging restarts.

 When a portable device that
supports rapid charging is
charged, charging automati-
cally switches to the rapid
charging function.
■Lighting conditions of operation indicator light

■The wireless charger can be
operated when
The power switch i s in ACC or ON.
■Portable devices that can be
charged
●Portable devices compatible with
the Qi wireless charging standard
can be charged by the wireless
charger. However, compatibility
with all devices which meet the Qi
wireless charging standard is not
guaranteed.
●The wireless charger is designed
to supply low power electricity (5
W or less) to a cellular phone,
smartphone, or other portable
device.
●Failure to do so may result in the
possibility of fire, However, porta- ble devices, such as the following,
can be charged with more than 5
W.
• 7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W
or less.
• Portable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4 (Extended Power
profile) can be charged at 10 W or
less.
■When covers and accessories
are attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where
cover and accessories not able to
handle Qi are attached to the porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover (including for certain genu-
ine manufacturer parts) and acces-
sory, it may not be possible to
charge.

■Charging precautions
●If the electronic key cannot be
detected in the cabin, charging
cannot be performed. When a
door is opened and closed,
charging may be temporarily sus-
pended.
●While charging, the wireless char-
ger and the portable device will
become warm. This is not a mal-
function.
If a portable de vice becomes
warm while charging and charging
stops due to the protection func-
tion of the portable device, wait
until the portable device cools
down and charge it again.
●Depending on usage of the porta-
ble device, it may not be fully
charged. This is not a malfunction.
■Important points of the wire-
less charger
●If the electronic key cannot be
detected within the vehicle inte-
rior, charging can not be done.
When the door is opened and
closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless
charging device and portable
device will get warmer, however
this is not a malfunction. When a
portable device gets warm while
charging may stop due to the pro-
tection function on the portable
device side. In this case, when the
temperature of the portable drops
significantly, charge again.
The fan may start operating to
lower the temperature inside the
wireless charger, however this is
not a malfunction.
■Sound generated during opera-
tion
When the power su pply switch is
turned on or while a portable device
is being identified, operation sounds may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

dealer.
■To prevent malfunctions and
data corruptions
●When charging, bringing a
credit, or other magnetic card,
or magnetic storage media
close to the charge area may
clear any stored data due to
magnetic influence. Also, do not
bring a wristwatch or other pre-
cision instrument close to the
charge area since doing so may
cause it to malfunction.
●Do not charge with a non-con-
tact IC card such as a transpor-
tation system IC card inserted
between the charging side of a
portable device and the charge
area. The IC chip may become
extremely hot and damage the
portable device or IC card. Be
especially careful not to charge
a portable device inside a case
or cover with a non-contact IC
card attached.
●Do not leave portable devices
inside the vehicle. The inside of
the vehicle can become hot in
extreme heat, which could
cause a malfunction.
■If the smartphone OS has

Maintenance and care
 Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed,
wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off remaining traces of
detergent and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foam-
ing-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles. Do not
use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and
let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as
dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for
excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■Front side window s with IR pro-
tective coating
The front side windows have IR pro-
tective coating. To prevent any dam-

• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at
least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from
the vehicle body. Otherwise
resin section, such as moldings
and bumpers, may be deformed
and damaged. Also, do not con-
tinuously hold the nozzle in the
same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of
the windshield continuously. If
water enters the air conditioning
system intake located near the
lower part of the windshield, the
air conditioning system may not
operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of
the vehicle usin g a high pres-
sure car washer. If water enters
the traction battery, the EV sys-
tem may malfunction.
●Do not use the washer on the
area around the charging port
lid. Water could get into the
charging inlet and could dam-
age the vehicle.
■Cleaning aluminum parts
When cleaning the hood, do not
push hard or put weight on it.
The aluminum part may be
dented.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle interior

and close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground
cable.
●Make sure the power switch on
the charger is off when connecting

1 Shift the shift position to P.
2 Open and close any of the doors.
3 Restart the EV system.
●Unlocking the doors using the
Smart key system may not be
possible immediately after recon-
necting the 12-volt battery. If this
happens, use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the EV system with the
power switch in ACC. The EV sys-
tem may not start with the power
switch turned off. However, the EV
