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
§ Avoid scanning from a significant angle
§ Confirm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code scanning
§ Tr y another QR Code Reader app; not all apps are created equal
2. After scanning, you may experience a “connection error” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages typically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet
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.

For more information on Fuel Economy, snap the QR Code above to view a video or refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual.
Fuel Economy
Several factors 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:
§ 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
§ Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
§ Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle
§ Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
§ Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)† 27
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires
is significantly underinflated, if a spare tire has been installed that does not
have a TPMS device, or when the outside temperature drops considerably.
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure
indicator A showing which tire(s) are underinflated.
§ Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an
accurate digital tire pressure gauge.
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. See dealer for service.
REMINDERS:
§ Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is open
§ Consult your dealer for service if the 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

§ 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, safety and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressure 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
