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.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos. 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.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos
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
QUICK TIPS
•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 TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The indicator will illuminate 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 Indicator .
See front driver’s door jamb for PSI
specification. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Indicator Ais displayed on the
LCD screen in the Instrument Cluster
when the tire(s) are underinflated.
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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label
located on the left side of driver's door jam,
visible when the door is opened.
• Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire
Pressure Light remains illuminated after
inflating your tire(s).
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:
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR
Code above to view a video or refer to the Owner's Manual.
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.
•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
