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 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.

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, two-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

ALWAYS CHECK THE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR COMPLETE OPER ATING INFORMATION AND SAFET Y WARNINGS . *IF EQUIPPED †LEGAL DISCL AIMERS ON BACK INSIDE COVER
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will illuminate if it detects one or more
tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS
or the outside temperature becomes significantly lower .
Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge to turn the
Low Tire Pressure Light off . See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification . The
Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator* A is displayed on the LCD screen in the
instrument cluster when the tire(s) is underinflated .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one
minute and then illuminate – see dealer for service .
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of the driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is opened
• Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
• Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc .) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate

Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as maintenance of your
vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics . Below are some
tips on how to help improve fuel economy:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular maintenance
•Don’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicles
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
• Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month . Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
• For proper maintenance, safety and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
• In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather
