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