QR Codes
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.
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.
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.
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
Quick Tips
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, you may experience 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.
REMINDER: When accessing videos on your mobile
device, standard cellular data rates may apply.

For more information on Fuel Economy, you can
snap the QR Code above to view a video or refer
to the Owner’s Manual.
Fuel Economy
Several factors 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
§Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
§Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in
your vehicle
§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 two vehicles’ MPG may be the same, the
vehicle with the larger tank will have greater range.

to page 2 for more
information.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator will illuminate if one or more tires
is significantly underinflated, or if a spare tire has been
installed that does not have a TPMS device or when the
outside temperature drops considerably.
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the
Low Tire Pressure indicator Ashowing which tire(s) are
underinflated.
§Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital
tire pressure gauge. 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 then illuminate. See dealer for service.
Quick Tips
- Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked
manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire
pressure on “cold tires”
- For proper maintenance, safety and optimal fuel
economy, maintain recommended tire inflation
pressure 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
REMINDERS:
- Check the recommended tire pressure label
located on the left side of driver’s door jam,
visible when the door is open.
- Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire
Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating
your tire(s).
