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

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

  QUICK TIPS

 

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
