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 visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

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 far ther 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 suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

FCA Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Set tings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Set tings* on the audio head unit . Go to Driver Assistance, then Warning Volume .
QUICK TIP
Collision Warning
Emergency Braking
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front 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 .
FCA User Settings:
•FCA is ON by default in most Kia models . FCA can be turned ON/ OFF by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
•To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position
•Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance
– In some models, go to Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Forward Collision Warning and press the OK button C
– In other models, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
Then select one of the following modes:
– Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and may apply the brakes if needed
– Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
– Off: System is off, no warnings or braking provided
•To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning Timing then select Fast, Normal or Slow, depending on your Kia model:
– F a s t : When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated earlier than normal
– Normal: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Slow: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
•Ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* is ON
•Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON

QUICK TIPS
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC)* †4
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation system .
To turn on NSCC, go to the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by selecting Driving Convenience, Highway Auto Speed Change . When SCC is on and operating, the vehicle is driving on limited/controlled access highways and NSCC is turned on, then NSCC is enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on the Instrument Cluster .
When NSCC detects a curve ahead, NSCC activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the AUTO icon A will turn green . When the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to its previously set SCC speed .
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed limit changes .
REMINDERS:
•NSCC requires an active navigation subscription
•NSCC is only available on controlled access roads and highways
See section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information . For more set ting information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide . NSCC and Cruise Control are supplemental systems and are not substitutes for safe driving . It is the responsibilit y of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead .
