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

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

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

The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator
The TPMS indicator illuminates if one or more tires is
significantly under inflated, 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
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

•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 fuel 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
QUICK TIPS
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:
• 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 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 the two vehicles, MPG may be the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have the greater range
