SUBJECT: IQS Quick Tip #9 – Wireless Charging
Date: November 24, 2020
During the perfect delivery, be sure to show customers how to correctly use the wireless charger if their vehicle is equipped with this feature.
NOTE: A Qi compatible mobile phone or a Qi compatible phone case (if the phone is not compatible) is required. Examples of phones that are Qi compatible (and don’t need a Qi compatible case or accessory) include Apple iPhone 8 and newer, and Samsung S7 and newer devices. Depending on the Kia vehicle the phone will lay flat on the charging pad or fit into the charging port as seen below:
Steps include:
- Place the phone on the center of the charging pad
- Ensure the vehicle is “on” and the doors are closed for wireless charging to be available
- The indicator near the vehicle charger will be “amber” in color when the phone is charging.
- Depending on the phone used, you may see “green” indicator once charging is complete. Note: The indicator changing to “green” when fully charged is dependent upon the phone used. In some cases, the indicator may stay amber even when fully charged.
- Some phones will not charge wirelessly when connected to the USB.
- Phone case thickness can impact the charge rate.
- Avoid placing coins, credit cards, paper clips, pens, jewelry, and other objects on the charging pad while charging
