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.

VIDEOS & QR CODES
*IF EQUIPPED 2
ONE-CLICK FUEL CAP VIDEO
To view a video on your mobile device, snap this QR Code or visit the listed website. Refer to page 2 for more information.
QR Codes
Kia provides a number of video resources 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
§ Tr y 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.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped)*†9 /
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†9
The FCA-Ped is designed to help alert the driver, and under
certain conditions if necessary, apply emergency braking,
when rapidly approaching a vehicle that is slowing down,
braking or stopped. Initially, the FCA-Ped provides Forward
Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential collision
with a vehicle in front emitting an audible warning and visual
alert on the instrument cluster A. Adjust the alert settings
(Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. To turn the FCA-
Ped/FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn off.
If the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) automatically applies
the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the
effects of a possible collision. FCA-Ped can be turned ON in
the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display.
The FCA-Ped/FCW will become active when the:
§ Engine Start /Stop button is ON
§ Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
§ Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON.
LED Warning Messages:
REMINDERS:
§ The FCA-Ped/FCW will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previous setting was OFF
§ The FCA-Ped/FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling more than approximately 45/50 mph, respectively
§ If the FCA-Ped is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off B, the FCA-Ped system is automatically turned off.
§ When FCA-Ped system is off, the FCA-Ped warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster .
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW) are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use Caution.
FCA-Ped and FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†6
Quick Tips
§ The speed setting for the SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
§ With no vehicle in front, you must be travelling at a minimum speed of 20 mph
§ When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
§ When following a vehicle, the system can automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front. It will even bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. If the vehicle remains at a standstill for more than 3 seconds, you must depress the accelerator pedal or press the RES+/SET- button up/down to start the vehicle.
§ To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and hold button C. Repeat to switch back to SCC mode. (The SCC system must not be activated to change modes).REMINDERS:
§ CRUISE indicator must be ON in order to operate SCC
§
The cruise control system will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is ON or engine starting
§
For the SCC System to operate, you must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph, when no vehicle is in front.
§
The SCC system remains ON when ignition is cycled. The speed setting will need to be reset when ignition is cycled
§
The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on vehicle speed. See the owner’s manual for more information.
§
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), EPB is activated and various other conditions. See owner’s manual for other conditions.
§ If the SCC system is left one, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of.
§ The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop and Go system is
designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles
detected ahead by automatically adjusting the driving speed
as needed.
