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/qf13/2015 . 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 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
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
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
•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

The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will illuminate if one or more tires is significantly
underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS or the outside
temperature becomes significantly colder .
The Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator A is displayed on the LCD screen in the
Instrument Cluster when the tire(s) are underinflated . Inflate tire(s), using an accurate
digital tire pressure gauge, to specifications to turn off Low Tire Pressure Position
Indicator A - See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute then
illuminate - see dealer for service .
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s) .
