*IF EQUIPPED 
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 use of any 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.

VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERS
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.KuTechVideos.com/vg13/2016.  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  
 
 
One-Click Fuel Cap Video 
  
To view a video on your 
mobile device, snap this 
QR Code or visit the listed 
website  
www. KuTechVideo s.c om/vg13/2016 
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
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
QR CODE
 
 
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
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
QUICK TIPS
 
•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

REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire 
Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s) 
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 vehicles
•  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   
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code above to view a video or refer to the brochure “GETTING MORE OUT OF EVERY GALLON,  
FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY” available at your local dealership.

•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 TIPSTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The TPMS indicator      functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light 
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator   
The indicator      will illuminate if 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 then illuminate
