Using the wireless phone charger*
The rubber pad in the tunnel console can be used to charge a phone without having to connect its cord.
Warning
Wireless charging can 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 charging plate can be switched on and off via the center display's Function view. The charging plate's default mode is activated. When the charging plate is switched on, a message will appear describing the risks for users with pacemakers or other implanted devices who could be affected by the plate. Tap the center display to confirm that the charging plate should be switched on.
To use the wireless charging plate:
Make sure that the charging plate is switched on in the center display's Function view.
Remove all objects from the charging pad and place the phone in the center of the pad.
The phone will begin charging and the symbol will appear at the top of the center display.
Important
Do not place cards with NFC (Near Field Communication), e.g. debit cards for contactless payment, next to the phone. This type of card could be destroyed during charging.
Note
Some cellular phones may become warm during wireless charging. This is normal.
If the phone is not charging:
- Check in the center display that the charging pad is on.
- Make sure there are no other objects on the charging pad.
- Make sure the phone supports wireless charging (Qi).
- If the phone has a phone case, remove it.
- Lift up the phone and then put it back on the center of the charging pad.
- Make sure the ignition is on.
- Make sure the phone hasn't slid off the charging pad while driving.
- If the temperature of the battery becomes too high while charging, the charging function will be switched off.
- If any of the doors are opened, charging will stop for a few seconds.
If the phone is incorrectly positioned or an object prevents charging on the charge pad, a message is shown in the center display.
Important
Keep cellular phones and charger stations away from other objects while charging to help avoid overheating.
