POWER OUTLETS (INT) WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
WIRELESS CHARGER FUNCTION OUTLINE
The wireless charging system enables Qi-compatible* rechargeable devices, such as a cellular phone, to be recharged by merely placing it on the charging area of the mobile wireless charger cradle assembly.

-
*: Qi (pronounced chee) is a wireless technology which allows devices to recharge without using any wires.
Qi-compatible devices which do not fit within the charging area cannot be used. If a Qi-compatible device does not operate normally, refer to the owner's manual of the device.
Qi-compatible rechargeable devices can be charged.

·Although the wireless charging system meets Qi standards, compatibility with all Qi-compatible devices is not guaranteed.
CHARGING INDICATOR STATUS
| *a | Mobile Wireless Charger Switch |
| *b | Indicator Light (Red/Green) |
| *c | Charging Area |
The indicator light shows the operation condition of the wireless charging system.
| Indicator | Operation Condition | |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Color | |
|
*1: When charging is suspended due to the charging suspension signal, the indicator light (green) will illuminate until the suspension signal disappeared. *2: Refer to the following diagram for details about the indicator blinking patterns. |

Foreign matter exists between the rechargeable device and the charging area ·
A gap exists between the rechargeable device and the charging area ·
The rechargeable device is not placed correctly on the charging area ·
The rechargeable device has been moved from the position where it was first placed ·
Over-temperature, over-voltage, under-voltage, overcurrent or overpower ·
The signal that between the wireless charging system and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is abnormal |
RESUMPTION OF CHARGING
After charging is complete, if the rechargeable device is left in the same position on the charging area, charging will resume after 5 minutes elapse.
Charging will resume if the rechargeable device is moved or repositioned within the charging area, or replaced with another rechargeable device within 5 minutes of charging being completed.
If the rechargeable device is moved while it is being charged, charging will resume when the device is placed on the charging area.
SUSPENSION OF CHARGING DUE TO VERIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
The wireless charging system uses the same radio wave frequency that is used to perform verification of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. Therefore, when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly verification is being performed, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) sends a charging suspension signal to the wireless charging system to suspend charging.

-
When charging is suspended due to the charging suspension signal, the indicators will not illuminate, after the suspension signal disappeared the indicator (green) will illuminate again and then the indicator light (red) blinks at the frequency of pattern 1.
The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) sends the charging suspension signal when any of the following conditions is met:
Opening/closing the doors
Opening/closing the luggage compartment door
The hybrid control system is started
Moving the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly out of the detection area
