VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERS
Kia provides a number of video resources at your disposal 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.KuTechVideos.com/yd13/2014. 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, 2-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
1.
QUICK TIPS
1. If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
đŏ The code should be centered and focused in your mobile
device’s camera screen
đŏ Consider moving your device closer to or farther away from
the code
đŏ The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
đŏ Avoid scanning from a significant angle
đŏ Confirm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code scanning.
Try another QR Code Reader app; not all apps are created equal
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:
đŏ With some apps, as soon as the app recognizes
the code, it will launch the corresponding video
đŏ With other apps, you will have to snap or take
a picture of the code. The app will then launch
the corresponding video
QR CODE

Fuel Cap Video
To view a video on your
mobile device, SNAP
this QR Code or visit the
listed website.
www.KuTechVideos.com/yd13/2014
2. After scanning, if a “connecting” message appears and then
nothing happens or there’s a “connection error” message, this
typically indicates that your device is having trouble connecting
to the Internet

QUICK TIPS
Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The Kia Voice Recognition System may have diculty
understanding some accents or uncommon names. When using
Voice Recognition to place a call, speak in a moderate tone, with
clear pronunciation.
To maximize the use of Voice Recognition, consider these
guidelines when storing contacts:
đŏ Do not store single-name entries (e.g., "Bob", "Mom", etc.).
Instead, always use full names (including first and last names) for
these contacts
đŏ Do not use special characters (e.g., '@', '-', '*', '&', etc.)
đŏ Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use "Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use
đŏ "County Finance Department" instead of "C. F. D."; Be sure to say
the name exactly as it is entered in the contacts list
Contacts Sync Tips
đŏ If Contact Sync is set to ON, contacts stored your phone will
download each time your phone is connected. There may be a
delay before the system is available to place a call
đŏ If Contact Sync is set to OFF, your phone contacts will download
only at the initial pairing. This allows you to make calls without
waiting for your phone contact list to download
Navigation System
đŏ Option 1: Press the Receive/Place Call button
D
(displays the phone screen with number keypad)
đŏ Option 2: Press the Talk button
C
. Then say the
command “Call Name” or “Dial Number,” followed by
phonebook name or number
