Welcome to the Kia Family!
Your new Kia vehicle has been designed, engineered and manufactured to provide you with years of comfortable and dependable driving. Kia is committed to quality, innovation, safety and — above all — your satisfaction.
Using this Features & Functions Guide
The information contained in this guide is a brief overview of the operation and features of your new Kia vehicle.
This Features & Functions Guide and the specific operational and safety information it provides are not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual. In the interest of your safety and that of the vehicle’s occupants, and to help you avoid risks that may result in death or serious injury, Kia reminds you to carefully read the Owner’s Manual in order to fully familiarize yourself with the important information and safety warnings it contains.
While Kia endeavors to ensure that the information contained in this guide is accurate at the time of printing, Kia may change vehicle specifications without notice in advance of or after the fact and assumes no liability in connection with such changes.
Videos and QR Codes
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 mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, 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 your QR Code Reader App. You can also view the videos by visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

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 far ther 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 suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death . The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle .

Fuel Economy / Tips for Economical Driving
Several factors contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as maintenance of your vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics . Below are some tips on how to help improve fuel economy:
•Use the climate control system less often . Use the Driver Only* setting as much as possible
•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

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)† 20
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator .
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires is significantly underinflated, 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 A showing 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

REMINDERS:
•
Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver ’s door jamb, visible when the door is open
•
Consult your dealer for ser vice if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
•
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc .) may inter fere with the 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” that have been sit ting for 3 hours or more, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•
For proper maintenance, safet y and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressure and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•A significant drop in temperature can cause tire inflation pressures to drop, which may activate the TMPS light . Manually confirm tire pressures after significant changes in temperature or altitude
