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

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 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.
