VIDEOS & QR CODES - SMARTPHONES, TABLETS AND COMPUTERS

Kia provides a number of video resources at your disposal 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 smartphone/tablet

(mobile devices) or by visiting the following website: www.KuTechVideos.com/yd13/2017. Continue reading for a more

in-depth look at QR Codes and for instructions on how to use them.

REMINDER: When accessing videos

on your mobile device, standard

cellular data rates may apply.

What are QR Codes?

A QR Code is a square, 2-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

1. 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 farther 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 supports 2D QR Code scanning.

• Try another QR Code Reader app; not all apps are created equal

2. After scanning, if a “connecting” message appears and then nothing happens or there’s a “connection error” message, this typically indicates that your device is having trouble

connecting to the Internet

Fuel Economy

Several factors contribute to your vehicle's fuel economy, including maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,

environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are tips on how to improve fuel economy:

REMINDER: Driving range can vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e.g. 12-gal. vs. 24-gal., even though the MPG may be the same

For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code above to view a video or refer to the brochure “GETTING MORE OUT OF EVERY GALLON,

FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY” available at your local dealership.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

• 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 vehicle

• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks

• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads

The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and

TPMS Malfunction Indicator.

The TPMS indicator will illuminate if one or more tires is signiﬁcantly

underinﬂated, the vehicle has a spare tire without TPMS installed or

the outside temperature becomes signiﬁcantly colder.

• Inﬂate tire(s) to speciﬁcations to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light

using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge. 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 and then

illuminate - See dealer for service

REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inﬂating your tire(s).

• Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be

checked manually at least once a month. Only

adjust tire pressure on “cold tires”

• 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

HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating

from a stop while on a steep incline. The HAC automatically activates

whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the ESC has

malfunctioned.

REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the

N (Neutral) position.

• When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you

may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress

the accelerator

• HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) / Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)*

Autonomous (Assist) Emergency Braking (AEB) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*

With the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, press the

LKAS/LDWS button

E

to turn system ON. The instrument cluster

indicator will illuminate.

If the LKAS detects that you are veering outside of your lane, the

system may issue a warning on the LCD screen and an alert may

sound, while applying a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to

prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.

Standard LKAS is the operating mode by default when the button

is depressed to ON. To switch to Active LKAS mode or LDWS mode,

go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster.

If the LDWS detects that you are veering outside of your lane, the

system may issue a warning on the LCD screen and an alert may sound.

All systems will operate under the following conditions:

• The vehicle exceeds approximately 55 mph

• The LKAS/LDWS system recognizes the lane the vehicle is

traveling in

• LKAS/LDWS will stay on when the ignition is cycled

The AEB helps to alert the driver when rapidly approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking

or stopped

F

. A warning message will appear on the LCD screen and a chime will sound. The AEB

will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than 6 mph.

To turn the AEB off, go to User Settings in the LCD Instrument Cluster modes.

REMINDER: The AEB will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off

Autonomous (Assist) Emergency Braking is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not detect all objects in front of vehicle. Always drive safely and use caution.

REMINDER: LKAS/LDWS will not issue a warning if the turn signal is activated.

When the LKAS sensor detects

the lane traveling in, both lanes

are illuminated

When the LKAS sensor does

not detect the lane traveling in

the lanes are not illuminated

When the LKAS sensor detects the vehicle veering outside of the lane traveling

in, a yellow indicator will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both

images above)
