SOUL FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that
may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation
of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other equipment
or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not
permissible by law should never be used during operation of the
vehicle.

VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERS
Kia provides a number of video resources at your disposal to assist you with becoming familiar with the features and functions
found in your Kia vehicle. You can access these resources by snapping the QR Codes with your smartphone/tablet (mobile
devices) or by visiting the following website: www.KuTechVideos.com/ps13/2015. Continue reading for a more in-depth look
at QR Codes and for instructions on how to use them.
REMINDER: When accessing videos
on your mobile device, standard
cellular data rates may apply.
One-Click Fuel Cap Video
To view a video on your
mobile device, snap this
QR Code or visit the listed
website.
www.KuTechVideos.com/ps13/2015
What are QR Codes?
A QR Code is a square, 2-dimensional barcode that can be
read by mobile devices loaded with an appropriate barcode
or QR Code Reader App. The app reads the barcode image
and then launches/uploads the specific information the
code contains, such as URLs, text, photos, videos and so
much more.
How to use QR Codes
If you have a mobile device with a QR Code Reader App, you
can snap the code with your phone and you’ll be provided a
video with additional information pertaining to the topic. For
example, in the Fuel Cap section, if you would like additional
information, just snap the code with your mobile device to
view the selected Kia Features & Functions Video.
How to snap a QR Code
1. With your mobile device, download a QR Code Reader
App. With many devices, you can do this through an app
store or marketplace
2. Open the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device
3. The app will utilize your device’s camera. Center the code
in the camera viewing area:
•With some apps, as soon as the app recognizes the
code, it will launch the corresponding video
•With other apps, you will have to snap or take a
picture of the code. The app will then launch the
corresponding video
•For operation specifics, refer to the instructions that
come with the QR Code Reader App
QR CODE
1. If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
•The code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s camera screen
•Consider moving your device closer to or farther away from the code
•The code should be well-lit, without significant shadow
2. After scanning, if a “connecting” message appears and then nothing happens or there’s a “connection error” message, this typically indicates that your device is having trouble
connecting to the Internet
3. When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates will apply
•Avoid scanning from a significant angle
•Confirm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code scanning
•Try another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

The indicator functions as both Low Tire
Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator illuminates if one or more tires
is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare
tire installed without TPMS or the outside temperature
becomes significantly lower.
Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital
tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light
. See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification.
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately
one minute and then illuminate - See dealer for service.
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure
Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s).
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
•
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked
manually at least once a month. Only adjust Tire
Pressure on “cold tires”
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy,
maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle
•In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate
if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended
tire inflation pressure during warm weather
QUICK TIPS
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your
vehicle’s fuel economy, including maintenance of your
vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle
weight and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are tips on
how to help improve fuel economy:
• Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular
maintenance
• Don’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
• Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly
and at a moderate rate
• Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
• Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight
in your vehicles
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Driving range varies depending on a vehicle’s fuel tank
size, e.g., 12-gal.vs.24-gal. Even though the two vehicles, MPG may be
the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have the greater range.
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code to
view a video or refer to the brochure, “Getting More Out Of Every Gallon,
Fuel-Saving Tips To Drive By” available at your local dealership.
