LEGAL DISCLAIMERS              See Back Inside Cover Page
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
  One-Click Fuel Cap Video   To view a video on your mobile device, snap this QR Code or visit the listed website 
www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos
QR CODEKia 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 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
  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: When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates may apply

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
REMINDERS: 
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jam, visible when the door is opened  
• 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   
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR Code above to view a video or refer to the Owner's Manual..
 
 •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
  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 and then  
illuminate  See dealer for service

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating 
from a stop while on a steep incline  The HAC automatically activates 
whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the ESC  
has malfunctioned 
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park)  or the N (Neutral) position  
 
 •HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards •When HAC is active (e  g  , during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator – this is normal HAC operation
