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.
REMINDER: When accessing videos
on your mobile device, standard
cellular data rates may apply.
What are QR Codes?
A QR Code is a square, two-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
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

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Pedestrian (FCA-Ped)*†6 /
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†6
The FCA-Ped is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain
conditions, apply emergency braking when rapidly approaching a
vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped. Initially, the FCA-
Ped provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW) when it detects a
potential collision with a vehicle in front emitting an audible warning
and visual alert on the instrument cluster. Adjust the alert settings
(Late, Normal, Early) in the User Settings. To turn the FCA-Ped/FCW
off, go to User Settings again and turn off.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) automatically applies
the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the
effects of a possible collision. FCA-Ped can be turned ON in the User
Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display.
The FCA-Ped/FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start/Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
