APTIV Model A Wireless Charging Manual Instruction Manual
Instruments and Controls
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has wireless charging on the center console in front of the cupholders. 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. See Radio Frequency Statement 438.
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, in accessory mode, 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 Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 216.
The operating temperature is – 40 deg C -40 °F) to 85 deg C (185 deg F)
for the charging system and 0 deg C 32 °F) to 35 deg C (95 deg F) for
the phone.
A charging stopped 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:
- Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
- Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may not charge if there are any objects between the smartphone and charger.
- Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the charger. To maximize the charge rate, ensure the smartphone is fully seated and centered in the holder with nothing under it. A thick smartphone case may prevent the charger from working, or reduce the charging performance. See your dealer for additional information.
- A green will appear on the infotainment display, next to the phone icon. This indicates that the smartphone is detected.
- If a smartphone is placed on the charger and turns off or a yellow triangle appears, remove the smartphone and any objects from the pad. Turn the smartphone 180 degrees and wait a few seconds before placing/aligning it on the pad again.
- If a smartphone is placed on the charger and a red circle appears, the charger and/or the smartphone is overheated. Remove the smartphone and any objects from the charger in order to cool the system.
The smartphone may become warm during charging. This is normal. In warmer temperatures, the speed of charging may be reduced.
For vehicles with wireless phone projection, the smartphone may overheat during wireless charging. The smartphone may slow down, stop charging, or shut down to protect the battery. The phone may need to be removed from its case to prevent overheating. The may flash while the phone is cooling down enough for wireless charging to automatically resume. This is normal. Individual phone performance may vary.

Warning Lights, Gauges, and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to the warning lights and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly when the engine is started to indicate they are working. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on while driving, or when one of the gauges shows there may be a problem, check the section that explains what to do. Waiting to do repairs can be costly and even dangerous.
