Kia Forte 2015 User manual

2015

Peter Schreyer

President and Chief Design Officer,

Kia Motors Corporation

Kia’s design is more than shapes, lines and surfaces.

It is a sharing of unexpected new and pleasant

experiences.

To ensure that the 2015 Kia Forte exceeds the

highest standards of design, technology and quality,

Peter Schreyer — one of the world’s top 3 automotive

designers — thoroughly oversees every aspect in its

design direction. For Schreyer, each element should

bear the ‘absolute purity’ in order to create the design

as a whole. The ‘simplicity’ philosophy is at the core of

Kia’s creative language.

Exceeding expectations.

Perhaps you never thought innovation, technical excellence and

exceptional style could all come together in an affordable passenger car.

But they do, and Forte will take you to places you’ve only imagined.

The 2015 Kia Forte sedan brings luxury features, spacious comfort and a

beautifully controlled ride together in an elegantly styled automobile.

The coupe-like roofline and wide stance provide a sporty yet sophisticated

look to the Forte sedan. So, too, do its lighting systems, including Xenon

high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and LED light bar taillights – two

luxury car features that are standard on SX models.

Add some extraordinary to your life.

engines. LX models feature a standard 1.8-litre engine

that produces 145 horsepower with enthusiasm and

remarkable quietness. Step up to the EX or SX and the

power steps up with you in the form of a smooth and

robust 2.0-litre, 173-horsepower engine with gasoline

direct injection (GDI). Forte5 and Koup SX models come

with the added performance of Kia’s 201-horsepower,

1.6-litre twin scroll turbocharged engine.

SMArt AND LUXUrIOUS

For 2015, the Forte stands out with a long list

of smart and luxurious features you wouldn’t

expect in a compact car, including a standard

audio system with voice recognition; an

available heated steering wheel; an available

10-way power heated/air-cooled driver seat;

and available dual-stage heated rear seats on

Forte

performance and high-tech amenities? Well, the wait is over. Get ready to unleash the thrill-seeker inside

reArVIeW cAMerA DISPLAy 5

ONBOArD NAVIGAtION 4

Forte’s available onboard navigation system is also fully integrated with the

multimedia interface. Call-up a destination, find a point of interest or type in

VehIcLe StABILIty MANAGeMeNt

Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

monitors Forte’s response to your throttle,

brake and steering inputs in tight corners

and evasive-manoeuvre situations. If your

steering input and the vehicle’s response

are out of sync, VSM briefly takes over to

restore stability through precise brake,

electric steering and engine control

interventions.

trActION cONtrOL

Forte’s standard Traction

Control System (TCS) senses

wheel spin during acceleration

and uses engine-torque

reduction and pulsed braking to

slow the spinning wheel(s) and

transfer torque to the wheels

that have the most traction.

ANtI-LOcK BrAKING SySteM

ABS provides the foundation

for Forte’s active safety

systems. It helps provide

greater vehicle control when

stopping in difficult conditions,

such as wet, slippery or

snow-covered roads.

hILL-StArt ASSISt cONtrOL

To help keep you from rolling

backward when starting off on

a steep hill, Hill Assist Control

(HAC) automatically maintains

braking pressure for up to two

seconds after you take your

foot off the brake pedal –

enough time for engine power

to move you forward.

eNhANceD

cOLLISION SAFety

Forte’s new platform

provides added strength

and protection to help

maintain the integrity

of the passenger

compartment in frontal,

side and rear impacts.

LAtch SySteM

Forte comes equipped

with an industry-standard

LATCH (Lower Anchors

and Tethers for CHildren)

safety system that makes

it easier to securely install

a compatible child safety

seat in any of the three

rear seating positions.

SeAt BeLt PreteNSIONerS. Seat belt

pretensioners automatically tighten the

driver and front passenger’s seat belts

in the event that a crash occurs to help

prevent or reduce injury.

Combining a range of passive and active safety features,

the 2015 Forte will give you a reassuring sense of security. A

comprehensive airbag system and seat belt pretensioners protect

you in the event of a collision.

An available rearview camera gives you a view of objects and

obstacles behind you when you’re backing up and helps to make

parking in tight spaces a breeze.

Safety and peace of mind.

reArVIeW cAMerA.5Standard on all Forte EX

and SX models, the rearview camera gives you

a view of objects and obstacles behind you

when you’re backing up. Images are displayed

on the LCD screen of the UVO system or

navigation system, depending on how your

vehicle is equipped.

Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result

in higher fuel consumption ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing

practice and would like to ensure you fully understand the difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold

temperature operation, and higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. To learn more, please visit: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm
