Wireless Charging Pad (Dual with NFC)
NOTE:
The charging pad on the left includes an NFC
transceiver which is used for NFC tap access and start
functionality
Your vehicle may be equipped with a single or dual 15W
3A Qi
®
wireless charging pad located below the center
stack, within the storage compartment. This charging
pad is designed to wirelessly charge your Qi
®
enabled
mobile phone. Qi
®
is a standard that allows wireless
charging of your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
®
wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi
®
wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a
specialized back plate can be purchased from your
mobile phone provider or a local electronics retailer.
Please see your phone’s Owner’s Manual for further
information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat, a cradle to hold your mobile phone in place, and
an LED indicator light.
Place the device inside the prepared area delimited in
the mat as shown in the image. Incorrect positioning
will prevent the phone from charging.
NOTE:
If your vehicle comes with a Wireless Charging pad,
you'll notice a clear indication on the rubber mat with
the text "Wireless Charger" and accompanying phone
and charging icon graphics. The charger is available on
the left side for single charging pads, and on the left
and right side for dual charging pads.
Alternatively, if you have a phone holder in your vehicle,
it has a rubber surface with textured grip for secure
placement, and a designated slot for your charging
cord.

device. Device may not be compatible with the Qi
®
standard.
●
Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
●
Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign object is

(if device is equipped to transmit this information).
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:
●
The presence of the Near-Field Communication
(NFC) function active on a smartphone could signal
malfunction anomalies.
●
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in order
for the phone to charge.
●
To avoid interference with the key fob search, the
wireless charging pad will stop charging when any
door or liftgate is opened, even if the engine is
running.
●
Be sure to place the mobile device correctly (display
facing upward, and phone not covering the LED) on
the wireless charging pad.
●
If the phone moves on the pad causing the red light
to illuminate, the phone will have to be picked up
and placed back on the charging pad to resume
charging.
●
Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
●
The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
●
iPhone
®
12 (including iPod
®
) is equipped with
software to protect the device from overheating.
When the software is active, the rate of charge is
slowed down to protect the device.
●
Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad
so that its charging parts connect with the charging
coils of the system. Movement of the phone during
charging may prevent or slow the rate of charge.
●
Having multiple applications open on the phone
while charging will reduce the charging efficiency,
and may even shut down an application that is
actively running (i.e. Apple CarPlay
®
). This may also
cause the phone to overheat.
●
Wireless chargers may implement certain methods
to prevent the phone from overheating during
charging such as slowing down the rate of charge.
In certain instances, the device may shut down for
a brief period of time (when the device reaches a
certain temperature). If this happens, it does not
mean there is a fault with the wireless charging pad.
