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
Kia One Click
Fuel Cap Video
To view a video on your
mobile device, SNAP this
QR code or visit the listed
website.
Refer to page 2 for more
information.
VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMART PHONES, 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 smart phone/tablet (mobile devices) or by
visiting the following website: www.KuTechVideos.com/xm13/2013. Continue reading for a
more in-depth look at QR codes and for instructions on how to use them.
What are QR Codes?
A QR Code is a square, 2-dimensional Bar Code that can be read by mobile devices loaded
with an appropriate Bar Code or QR Code Reader app. The app reads the Bar Code image
and then launches/uploads the specific information the code contains, such as URLs, text,
photos, videos, and so much more.
QR CODE
1.
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
• 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
2. After scanning, a “connecting” message appears and then
nothing happens or there’s a “connection error” message.
These messages typically indicate that your device is having
trouble connecting to the Internet
QUICK TIPS
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 Kia One Click 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.
