REMINDER: When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular
data rates will apply.
*IF EQUIPPED VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMART PHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERSKia 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/ps13/2014. 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.
1.
1. If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:


OThe code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s
camera screen


OConsider moving your device closer to or farther away from the code


OThe code should be well lit, without significant shadow


OAvoid scanning from a significant angle


OConfirm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code Scanning.
Try another QR Code 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
QUICK TIPS
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,

Instrument Cluster Overview (Type A)
The indicator
functions 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 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.
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after
it blinks for approximately one minute when there is a
problem with the TPMS. See dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)


O


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


OFor proper maintenance and
optimal fuel economy, maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle


OIn winter or cold weather, the
TPMS light may illuminate if the
tire pressure was adjusted to
the recommended tire inflation
pressure during warm weather
QUICK TIPS
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure
Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s).
For more information on the function
of all indicator and warning lights,
please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
