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/ps13/2016. Continue reading for a more in-depth look
at QR Codes and for instructions on how to use them
REMINDER: When accessing videos

One-Click Fuel Cap Video

mobile device, snap this
QR Code or visit the listed
website
www. KuTechVideo s.c om/p s13/2016
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


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 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
3 When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates will apply
