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 your 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

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sit ting for sit ting for 3 hours or more, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance 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

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
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure indicator A showing which tires are underinflated Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light See front driver ’s door jamb for PSI specification
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute then illuminate – See dealer for service
REMINDERS:
•
Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is open
•
Consult your dealer for ser vice if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc ) may inter fere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
