Hyundai Elantra: Interior Features / Wireless Cellular Phone Charging System

[A]: Indicator light, [B]: Charging pad

On certain models, the vehicle comes equipped with a wireless cellular phone charger.

The system is available when all doors are closed, and when the ignition switch is ON.

To charge a cellular phone

The wireless cellular phone charging system charges only the Qi-enabled cellular phones (). Read the label on the cellular phone accessory cover or visit your cellular phone manufacturer's website to check whether your cellular phone supports the Qi technology.

The wireless charging process starts when you put a Qi-enabled cellular phone on the wireless charging unit.

1. Remove other items, including the smart key, from the wireless charging unit. If not, the wireless charging process may be interrupted. Place the cellular phone on the center of the charging pad ().

2. The indicator light is orange when the cellular phone is charging. The indicator light turns green when phone charging is complete.

3. You can turn ON or OFF the wireless charging function in the user settings mode on the instrument cluster. For further information, refer to the "LCD Display Modes" in this chapter.

If your cellular phone is not charging:

- Slightly change the position of the cellular phone 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 cellular phone again.

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

Information

For some manufacturers' cellular phones, the system may not warn you even though the cellular phone is left on the wireless charging unit. This is due to the particular characteristic of the cellular phone and not a malfunction of the wireless charging.

NOTICE

• The wireless cellular phone charging system may not support certain cellular phones, which are not verified for the Qi specification ().
• When placing your cellular phone on the charging mat, position the phone in the middle of the mat for optimal charging performance. If your cell phone is off to the side, the charging rate may be less and in some cases the cell phone may experience higher heat conduction.
• In some cases, the wireless charging may stop temporarily when the Remote Key or Smart Key is used, either when starting the vehicle or locking/unlocking the doors, etc.
• When charging certain cellular phones, the charging indicator may not change to green when the cell phone is fully charged.
• The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when temperature abnormally increases/ decreases inside the wireless cellular phone charging system. Stop the charging cellular phone and wait until temperature falls to a certain level.
• The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when there is any metallic item, such as a coin, between the wireless cellular phone charging system and the cellular phone.
• When charging some cellular phones with a self-protection feature, the wireless charging speed may decrease and the wireless charging may stop.
• If the cellular phone has a thick cover, the wireless charging may not be possible.
• If the cell phone is not completely contacting the charging pad, wireless charging may not operate properly.
• Some magnetic items like credit cards, phone cards or rail tickets may be damaged if left with the cellular phone during the charging process.
• When any cellular phone 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 cellular phone in any way.
