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.
- HINT:
-
*: 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 (Blue) |
| *c | Charging Area |
The indicator light shows the operation condition of the wireless charging system.
| Indicator | Operation Condition | |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Color | |
| Off | - | Wireless charging system is turned off |
| Off | - | Wireless charging system is on (standby) |
| On | Blue | ·
A rechargeable device is placed on the charging area ·
A rechargeable device is being charged ·
Charging is complete |
| Off*1 | - | Charging is stopped temporarily due to a charging suspension signal being received from the smart key system |
| Blinks*2 | Blue | ·
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 |
*1: When charging is suspended due to the charging suspension signal, the indicator light (blue) will not illuminate until the suspension signal disappeared.
*2: Refer to the following diagram for details about the indicator blinking patterns.
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.
- HINT:
-
If charging is stopped and resumed repeatedly due to the rechargeable device being moved or a communication error between the wireless charging system and rechargeable device, charging will be prohibited after a certain number of times to protect the rechargeable device.
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.
- HINT:
-
When charging is suspended due to the charging suspension signal, the indicator (blue) will not illuminate, after the suspension signal disappeared the indicator (blue) will illuminate again.
The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) sends the charging suspension signal when any of the following conditions is met:
A door is opened and closed.
The back door opener switch is pressed.
The back door is closed.
The hybrid control system or engine is started.
An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is not detected in the cabin.
