How to use the wireless charging in CT5?
2 Answers
The vehicle's ignition switch must be in the ignition/run or accessory position, or in the retained accessory power mode. The vehicle may be equipped with a wireless charging system in the storage compartment under the armrest. Place the device that needs to be charged on it.
My car is a CT5 Premium model, and the wireless charging pad is located in the center console storage compartment. Remember to remove your phone case before getting in the car, as a thick case can interfere with charging. Simply place your phone face down on the pad, and a prompt will pop up on the screen during charging, along with a flashing battery icon. I tested it by driving continuously for two hours, and my iPhone 12 charged about 50%. Be careful not to repeatedly pick up and put down your phone while driving, as it can get hot and distract you. The best feature is the alarm that sounds if you forget your phone when getting out of the car, and you don’t have to fumble with wet cables in the rain. However, the charging speed isn’t fast, so if you need a quick charge, you’ll still need to use a cable.
