VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERS
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, 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

QR CODE
Kia provides a number of video resources 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.
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 Instrument Cluster Overview 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

Electric Vehicle (EV) Indicators
AMotor operation gauge
Soul EV’s motor operation gauge provides information on the
energy consumption rate of the vehicle and the charge status of the
regenerative brakes.
•CHARGE – Shows the charging status of the battery when it is
being charged by the regenerative brakes. The more electric
energy charged, the lower the gauge level
•ECO GUIDE – Shows the energy consumption rate during normal
driving conditions
•POWER – Shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle when
driving uphill or accelerating. The more electric energy used, the
higher the gauge level
BState of Charge gauge (SOC)
The State of Charge gauge displays the high-voltage battery
charge status.
•MIN position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery
energy is low
•MAX position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery is
fully charged
Ready indicator light – Illuminates when the vehicle is ready
to drive. When the ready indicator light is OFF or blinking, a
malfunction has occurred. Have an authorized Kia dealer address
the concern as soon as possible.
ECOMINDER®indicator – Indicates that the Active ECO System
is operational. This indicator light is always illuminated unless
the Active ECO System is turned OFF.
Service warning light – Illuminates when there is a malfunction
related to the electric vehicle control system. Have an authorized
Kia dealer address the concern as soon as possible.
Power down warning light – Illuminates when the power is
limited for the safety of the electric vehicle.
Charging indicator light – Shows the charging status of the
high-voltage battery. When charging, the red indicator turns on.
When charging is complete, the green indicator turns on.
High-voltage battery level warning light – Illuminates when
the high-voltage battery charge level is insufficient.
Regenerative brake warning lights (when both indicators
are lit) – Illuminates when the regenerative brake system is not
functioning correctly.

Energy Consumption
There are several factors that contribute to your
electric vehicle’s energy consumption, including
maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle weight and
vehicle aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help reduce
energy consumption:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition with
regular maintenance
•Don’t “ride” the brake pedal
•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
•Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on
roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained
roads
REMINDER: Do not turn the vehicle off by pushing the
POWER button while the vehicle is in motion. If the vehicle
has been turned off the power brake and power steering
system cannot operate.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†22
The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator illuminates if it detects 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.
REMINDERS:
•Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of
driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is opened
•Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated
after inflating your tire(s)
•Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start
systems, etc.) which has electronic noise may interfere with TPMS system,
which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to
illuminate
•
•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 battery 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
