objects may be blocking the signal. Your
body could also impact the signal. Hold
the smartphone in your hand, away from
your body, and toward the vehicle for
best results.
.Check that the smartphone is turned on
and has sufficient battery power.

104 Instruments and Controls
Troubleshooting
The power outlets will be momentarily
unavailable at the start and the end of a
350 kW DC Fast Charge. This is normal
operation.
For any error messages that can not be
resolved by resetting fault mode as
discussed earlier in this section, see your
dealer.
{Warning
The power outlets contain high-voltage
electrical equipment. Disassembling the
power outlets may result in electrical
shock causing personal injury or death.
Never attempt to disassemble a power
outlet.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has
wireless charging in the bin below the
climate control system. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly charges one Qi
compatible smartphone. The power output
of the system is capable of charging at a
rate up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0404.
{Warning
Wireless charging may affect the
operation of an implanted pacemaker or
other medical devices. If you have one, it
is recommended to consult with your
doctor before using the wireless charging
system.
The vehicle must be on or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not correctly
indicate charging when the vehicle is in RAP,
during a Bluetooth phone call, or when
phone projection (e.g. Apple CarPlay/Android
Auto) is active. See Power Modes0197.
The operating temperature is −40 °C (−40 °F)
to 85 °C (185 °F) for the charging system and
0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
A charging stopped alert may be displayed
on the infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature. Charging will
automatically resume when a normal
operating temperature is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger may become
very hot.
On the rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect an object, and
the object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object to cool
before removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone: 1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. The wireless charger is below the climate control system.
