Kia EV6: Controls and features / Charging wireless smart phone

Distracted driving

Driving while distracted may result in loss of vehicle control, severe injury, or death. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe and legal operation of the Kia EV6. Handheld devices, electronic equipment, or infotainment features that divert attention away from driving should never be used while the vehicle is in motion.

Liquid in Wireless Smart Phone Charger

To help prevent damage to the Kia EV6 wireless charging system, avoid spilling water, beverages, or other liquids onto the charging pad area.

Metal in wireless charging system

If metallic objects such as coins, keys, clips, or cards are placed between the smartphone and the Kia EV6 charging pad, charging may be interrupted and the metal object may become extremely hot.

If a metallic object is detected, immediately remove the smartphone and allow the object to cool before touching it.

• If the internal temperature of the Kia EV6 wireless charging system rises above the normal operating range, wireless charging temporarily stops until the system cools down.

• The Kia EV6 wireless charger may not function correctly when thick smartphone cases or accessory covers are installed.

• The Kia EV6 wireless charging system temporarily stops while the wireless smart key search function is operating to reduce radio interference.

• Wireless charging stops if the smart key leaves the Kia EV6 while the vehicle remains in the POWER ON position.

• The Kia EV6 wireless charging system may stop operating when a door is opened on vehicles equipped with a smart key system.

• Wireless charging automatically stops when the Kia EV6 is switched OFF.

• The Kia EV6 wireless charging system operates correctly only when the smartphone maintains complete contact with the charging surface.

• Items containing magnetic strips or sensitive electronic components, including credit cards, transportation cards, and bankbooks, may become damaged during wireless charging.

• For the best Kia EV6 charging performance, place the smartphone in the center of the charging pad. Charging performance may decrease if the phone is positioned near the edge of the pad, and device temperature may increase.

• Smartphones without integrated wireless charging capability require an approved wireless charging accessory to operate with the Kia EV6 charging system.

• Some smartphone manufacturers may display weak current messages during Kia EV6 wireless charging. This is related to smartphone design characteristics and does not indicate a charging system malfunction.

• On certain smartphone models, the Kia EV6 charging indicator may remain orange even after the battery is fully charged. This is a normal device-specific behavior.

• If a non-compatible smartphone or metallic object is placed on the Kia EV6 charging pad, a faint operational sound may occur while the system checks compatibility. This does not damage the vehicle or device.

• The Kia EV6 wireless charging system may not support certain smartphones that are not officially certified under the Qi specification ().

• Position the smartphone carefully in the middle of the Kia EV6 charging pad to achieve optimal charging speed and reduce heat buildup.

• Some smartphones equipped with advanced thermal protection systems may reduce wireless charging speed or temporarily stop charging to control device temperature.

• When smartphone applications such as Android Auto are operating during Kia EV6 wireless charging, charging performance may slow or stop because of smartphone overheating. Remove the device from the charging pad if overheating occurs.

• During Kia EV6 wireless charging operation, an internal cooling fan may activate to reduce charging system temperature. Fan noise during operation is normal.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the Kia EV6 wireless charging equipment.

Hanging clothing

Do not hang excessively heavy clothing or large objects on the Kia EV6 coat hook, as excessive weight may damage the hook or surrounding trim components.

Do not hang hard objects, sharp items, bags with metal components, or clothes containing heavy objects inside the pockets on the Kia EV6 coat hook. In the event of sudden braking, a collision, or curtain airbag deployment, these objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause vehicle damage or serious personal injury.

• Aftermarket Floor Mat

  • Do not install aftermarket floor mats in the Kia EV6 unless they can be securely fastened to the original floor mat anchor system.

    Loose or unsecured floor mats may interfere with accelerator, brake, or regenerative braking pedal operation.

• Use only Kia EV6 floor mats with an appropriate thickness and secure fitment to avoid interference with the pedals. Installing floor mats over protective plastic films may damage or break the retaining rings, causing the mats to become unsecured.

  Particularly in the driver’s footwell area, unsecured Kia EV6 floor mats may contribute to unintended acceleration or delayed braking response. Always remove all protective plastic coverings before installing floor mats.

Your Kia EV6 is equipped with factory-designed floor mat anchors intended to hold the driver’s floor mat securely in position. To help prevent interference with pedal operation, Kia recommends using only genuine Kia EV6 floor mats specifically designed for your vehicle.

To help prevent damage to the Kia EV6 luggage compartment and trim panels, exercise caution when carrying fragile, oversized, or heavy cargo items.

Luggage net

Keep your face and body away from the Kia EV6 luggage net recoil path at all times. Do not use the luggage net if the straps show visible wear, stretching, or damage, as the net could snap and cause injury.

Cargo security screen

Do not place objects on top of the Kia EV6 cargo security screen. During sudden braking or an accident, unsecured objects may be thrown inside the cabin and could injure occupants.

Do not load luggage directly on the Kia EV6 cargo security screen. Excessive weight may damage, deform, or permanently affect the operation of the screen assembly.
