QUICK TIPS
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 the QR Code Reader app. You can also view the videos by

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.

The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The indicator will illuminate if it detects 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 Indicator . See front driver’s door
jamb for PSI specification. The Low
Tire Pressure Position Indicator A is displayed on the LCD screen in the
Instrument Cluster when the tire(s) is
underinflated.
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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†24
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is opened
• Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
• Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that 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:
Refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information or snap the QR Code above to view a video.
Refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
The above images are for illustration purposes only and may not reflect actual display
•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

Low Tire Pressure

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•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
