QUICK TIPS
VIDEOS AND 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 mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader
or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, 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. You can also view the videos by

The TPMS indicator functions as both the Low Tire Pressure
Light and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to 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.
The Low Tire Pressure Position
Indicator A is displayed on the LCD
screen in the Instrument Cluster when
the tire(s) is underinflated. Inflate
the tire(s) to specifications using an
accurate tire pressure gauge to turn
off the Low Tire Pressure Indicator .
See the front driver’s door jamb for
PSI specifications.
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate. See the
dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 6
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
Several factors 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:
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR Code above to view a video or refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
•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

psi
Low Tire Pressure

•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 approximately 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain the 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

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*†6
REMINDERS:
•
The RCCA feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings, under Driver Assistance, Parking Safety
•
When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling faster than 3 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
•
The RCCA systems is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver, under certain
conditions, may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it
detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle, when vehicle is in reverse.
Initially, RCCA provides Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW ) when the system sensors
detect approaching vehicles or pedestrians from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A.
RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B. If RCCA detects that the collision
risk has increased, the system automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially
helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
• When the gear shift is in Reverse
• When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA User Settings:
• To go to the User Settings menu in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C
on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift in Park and with the
ignition on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings
• To turn RCCA on when in User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D up/down, select
Driver Assistance, Parking Safety, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety and then press OK D
• To set the initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D
up/down, then go to Driver Assistance, Warning Time and press the OK button D
• There are two settings:
– Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the
vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles
before the initial warning occurs
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the
audio head unit. Press the Setup hard key on the audio head unit,
then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings
Refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

RCCA Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings on the audio head unit. Go to Driver Assistance, then Warning Volume

view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning
(FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible
warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially
helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
