How to wirelessly charge your phone in a Chevrolet

If your new Chevy model is equipped with wireless charging, Roseville, CA Chevy owners can charge your smartphone in your vehicle without having to use a charging cable. Here are instructions and tips for utilizing wireless device charging. First, turn on your Chevy or put it in Accessory mode. Remove any objects from the charging pad or pocket, especially metal objects like paper clips.

Place the phone face-up on the coil charging symbol you see on the pad or in the pocket. The phone does need to be on the charging pad completely or located in the charging pocket to operate properly or it won't work. Chevy owners in Folsom and Rocklin, CA will see the charging display symbol on the phone when it's charging.

Tips and guidelines

Wireless device charging works only when your Chevy's ignition is set in the On mode, in the Accessory or the Retained Accessory Power mode. The location of your charging pad will vary based on the new Chevy model you're driving. The most common locations include the top of the center console armrest, the front of the center console, or in a small vertical pocket or a bin that's near the gear shifter. If your phone isn't charging, pick it up for a moment, rotate it 180 degrees and place it back on or in the wireless charging pad or pocket.

Your phone might not charge while it's in a protective cover or case so if you're having trouble, try removing the case. Large phones or tablets might be too large to be charged on a charging pad. If you're using a small phone, a foldable phone or another wearable device, it might be too small to line up on the charging pad. These objects might slide around while you're driving. Our valued Auburn and Grass Valley CA customers might need to remove the phone from the charging pad or pocket before putting it back into position.
