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.

monitors Forte’s response to your throttle,

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

for Forte’s active safety
systems. It helps provide

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

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
