Kia vehicle. The flipbook format facilitates information access, while the detailed illustrations ensure the instructions are easy to follow.
This Features & Functions Guide and the specific operational and safety information it provides are not a substitute for your Owner’s

reminds you to carefully read your Owner’s Manual in order to fully familiarize yourself with the important information it contains.
While the information contained in this guide is accurate at the time of printing, Kia may change vehicle specifications without notice in

such changes.

Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the
driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation
of the vehicle.

QR Codes
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.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos. 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 Bar Code that can
be read by mobile devices loaded with an appropriate Bar
Code or QR Code Reader app. The app reads the Bar Code
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 Kia One-Click 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
Quick Tips
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, you may experience 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.
REMINDER: When accessing videos on your mobile device, standard cellular data rates may apply.

the voice recognition:
§ Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or
single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs.“Dad,” “Smith
Residence” vs.“Home”)
§ Avoid using special characters, emoji’s or hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
§ Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs.“ICE”)
or words with all capital letters
§ Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith”
vs.“Dr. Smith”)
Quick Tips
- During the pairing process, be sure to accept the connection requests on the phone for phonebook download and to allow acceptance of all future Bluetooth® connection requests
-
When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation.The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too soft or too loud
-
Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
-
Close windows and sunroof and turn off A /C; open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
