Videos & 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 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, two-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.

QR CODE: One Click Fuel Cap Video

To view a video on your mobile device, snap this QR Code or visit the listed website.

Link: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

Reminder: When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates may apply.

QUICK TIPS

  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.
    • 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.
  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.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The TPMS indicator (!) functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator. The indicator (!) illuminates 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 the Low Tire Pressure Light (!) off. See the 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.
