VIDEOS & QR CODE S
QR Codes
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/kh13/2015. 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 Bar Code that can be
read by mobile devices loaded with an appropriate Bar Code
or QR Code Reader app. The app reads the Bar Code 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 Kia One-Click 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
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/kh13/2015
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 C ode Reader app; not all
apps are created equal
2. After scanning, a “connecting” message
appears and then nothing happens or there’s
a “connection error” message. These
messages typically indicate that your device
is having trouble connecting to the Internet.
REMINDER: When accessing videos on
your mobile device, standard cellular data
rates may apply.
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
