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

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)
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:

 •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

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press the Lane Safety button A 
to turn the system ON. The instrument cluster indicator  will illuminate white. It will 
remain white when vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph and the system does not 
detect the lane markers. When LK A detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, 
the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible 
warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle 
continues to move outside of the lane, LK A will provide steering inputs, trying to prevent 
the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button is depressed to ON. To switch between modes (Active LK A, 
LK A and Lane Departure Warning), go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster, select Driver Assistance, then Lane Safety.
The three available modes are:
Active LKA – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
Lane Keeping Assist – Guides driver to keep vehicle within lanes and provides steering inputs when vehicle is about to deviate 
from the lane
Lane Departure Warning – Alerts driver when the system detects the vehicle leaving the lane. In this mode the system will not 
provide steering inputs
All systems will operate under the following conditions: 
 •The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
 •The vehicle is between the lane markers
 •The LK A system recognizes the lane the vehicle is traveling in
Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. LKA may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is driven outside of its lane. Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
When the front-view camera detects the lanes the vehicle is traveling in, the indicators are illuminated
When the front-view camera does not detect the lanes the vehicle is traveling in, the indicator will not illuminate
When the front-view camera detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane the vehicle’s traveling in, a yellow indicator will illuminate, either on the left or right lane 
Lane Keeping AssistLane Keeping AssistLane Keeping AssistLane Keeping Assist
REMINDERS: 
•  LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
•  LK A will return to its previous state when the ignition is cycled
•  When the vehicle changes lanes without a turn signal, LK A may sound an audible warning

• Volume level between different audio modes:
–  When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to BT Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
–  When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
• When connected to Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® on your smartphone, the device’s navigation system may also be available
•  
A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the audio system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent battery discharge 
• Prolonged use of the audio control unit in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s battery
