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:


O
With some apps, as soon as the app recognizes
the code, it will launch the corresponding video


O
With other apps, you will have to snap or take
a picture of the code. The app will then launch
the corresponding video


O
For operation specifics, refer to the instructions
that come with the QR Code Reader App
VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERSKia 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/tf23/2014. 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 barcode 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.
1.
1. If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:


OThe code should be centered and focused in your mobile
device’s camera screen


OConsider moving your device closer to or farther away from the
code


OThe code should be well lit, without significant shadow


OAvoid scanning from a significant angle


OConfirm that the device’s app supports 2-D QR Code Scanning.
Try another QR Code Reader app; not all apps are created equal
2. After scanning, a “connecting” message appears and then
nothing happens or there’s a “connection error” message, this
typically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to
the Internet
QUICK TIPS
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

Fuel EfficiencyThere are several factors that
contribute to your vehicle’s fuel
efficiency, including maintenance
of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle
weight and vehicle aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help
improve fuel efficiency:


OKeep your vehicle in good
condition with regular
maintenance


ODon’t let the engine idle longer
than necessary


ODrive at a moderate speed,
accelerating smoothly and at a
moderate rate


OKeep tires inflated to the
recommended pressure


OTravel lightly, without carrying
unnecessary weight in your vehicle


OAvoid placing large or heavy items
on roof racks


OAvoid hilly, winding or poorly
maintained roadsREMINDER: Driving range will vary depending
on your vehicle’s fuel tank size (e.g., 12 gal. vs. 24
gal.), even though the MPG may be the same.
For more information on Fuel Economy, refer to
the brochure “GET TING MORE OUT OF E VERY
GALLON, FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY ”
available at your local dealership.
