The system is available when all doors are closed, and when the Start/Stop button is in the ON or START position.

If your smartphone is not charging:

Slightly change the position of the smartphone on the charging pad.
Make sure the indicator light is orange.

The indicator light will blink orange for 10 seconds if there is a malfunction in the wireless charging system.

In this case, temporarily stop the charging process, and re-attempt to charge your smartphone again.

The system warns you with a message on the display if the smartphone is still on the wireless charging unit after the vehicle is turned OFF and the front door is opened.

For some manufacturer's smartphones, the system may not warn you even though the smartphone is left on the wireless charging unit. This is due to the particular characteristic of the smartphone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging.

The wireless smartphone charging system may not support certain smartphones, which are not verified for the Qi specification ().
When placing your smartphone on the charging pad, position the phone in the middle of the mat for optimal charging performance. If your smartphone is off to the side, the charging rate may be less and in some cases the smartphone may experience higher heat conduction.
Wireless charging may stop temporarily when the smart key is used, either when starting the vehicle or locking/unlocking the doors, etc.
When charging certain smartphones, the charging indicator may not change to blue when the smartphone is fully charged.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when temperature abnormally increases inside the wireless smartphone charging system. The wireless charging process restarts, when temperature falls to a certain level.
If any metallic object, such as coins, is located between the wireless charging system and the smartphone, the charging may be disrupted. Also, the metallic object may heat up.
When charging some smartphones with a self-protection feature, the wireless charging speed may decrease and the wireless charging may stop.
If the smartphone has a thick cover, the wireless charging may not be possible.
If the smartphone is not completely contacting the charging pad, wireless charging may not operate properly.
Smartphone that do not have a built-in wireless charging need to purchase accessories.
Some magnetic items like credit cards, phone cards or rail tickets may be damaged if left with the smartphone during the charging process.
When any smartphone without a wireless charging function or a metallic object is placed on the charging pad, a small noise may sound. This small sound is due to the vehicle discerning compatibility of the object placed on the charging pad. It does not affect your vehicle or the smartphone in any way.
Some smartphones may not be able to charge depending on the internal structure of the smartphone. If this occurs, try charging the smartphone by moving it to the left or right side of the wireless charging pad. However, for some fold-able smartphones that have magnets inside the smartphone, try charging the smartphone while holding it close to the left side of the wireless charging pad.
For flip type smartphones, when using wireless charging, place the smartphone folded with the device's back placed on the center of the wireless charging unit.
During wireless charging, an internal fan operates to prevent overheating. Fan noise may sound.
