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 specic 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 specics, 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 signicant 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
3. When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates will apply

Avoid scanning from a signicant angle
Conrm that the device’s app supports 2D QR Code scanning
Try another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal
