A method of guiding an operator of a vehicle to a target location of a wireless charging station is disclosed herein. An exemplary embodiment of the method determines proximity of the vehicle to the wireless charging station, and activates a haptic feedback subsystem onboard the vehicle to indicate an approach alignment of the vehicle relative to the target location. The haptic feedback subsystem can be operated to generate haptic output that indicates fore-aft and lateral alignment (or misalignment) of the vehicle relative to the target location.
