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/yd13/2017.. 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

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..

www.KuTechVideos.com/yd13/2017

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

•• Avoid scanning from a significant angle

•• Consider moving your device closer to or farther away from the code

•• Confirm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code scanning..

•• The code should be well lit, without significant shadow

•• Try another QR Code Reader app; not all apps are created equal

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

Fuel Economy

Several factors contribute to your vehicle's fuel economy, including maintenance of your vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics.. Below are tips on how to 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 and at a moderate rate

•• 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

REMINDER: Driving range can vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e..g.. 12-gal.. vs.. 24-gal.., even though the MPG may be the same

For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code above to view a video or refer to the brochure “GETTING MORE OUT OF EVERY GALLON, FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY” available at your local dealership.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The indicatorfunctions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator..

The TPMS indicator will illuminate if one or more tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire without TPMS installed or the outside temperature becomes significantly colder..

•• Inflate tire(s) to specifications to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light

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 Indicatorwill blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate - See dealer for service

QUICK TIPS

•• Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month.. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires”

•• 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

REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)..
