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.
