 Dedicated to making safety a top priority
Forte’s technologically advanced systems are engineered to give you greater confidence on the road
and help you maintain control, even in harsh road conditions and some emergency situations.† In
addition, these systems are designed to function automatically, freeing you to focus on safe driving.

VEHICLE STABILITY
MANAGEMENT (VSM)
For additional steering-direction-
control capability, the VSM system is
designed to intervene in appropriate
situations to help the driver regain
control of the vehicle.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC)
ESC provides improved directional
stability to help maintain better
control in difficult driving situations.
During emergency maneuvers, it
works to control the engine and brakes
to help keep your Forte on course.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
When TCS senses wheelspin during
acceleration, it uses a combination of
both engine power and brake force
to help transfer power to the wheels
that have the most traction.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
To help maintain more consistent
braking as vehicle loads and weight
distribution change, the EBD system
automatically adjusts the front-to-
rear balance of brake pressure.
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS)
If BAS detects emergency braking,
based on how quickly you step on the
brake pedal, it is designed to instantly
apply full braking force, which helps
shorten your overall stopping distance.
HILL-START ASSIST CONTROL (HAC)
To help keep your Forte from
rolling backward when starting
off on a steep hill, the HAC system
automatically holds the brake
pressure for two seconds after you
take your foot off the brake pedal.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS is the foundation of an active
safety system and helps contribute
to driver confidence. The system
helps provide greater vehicle control
when stopping in difficult conditions
like wet or slippery roads.

ACTIVE SAFETY †
No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver errors, driving conditions, accidents, and/or injury.
Always drive responsibly.

 ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM
As a first line of defense, an advanced
airbag system helps protect driver
and passengers with dual front, front
seat-mounted side, and full-length
side curtain airbags.16

AIRBAG & SEAT-BELT SENSORS

This advanced system monitors the
severity of certain impacts, the
presence of a front passenger and
seat-belt use, and then controls
airbag inflation accordingly.16

FRONT SEAT-BELT PRETENSIONERS

Pretensioners have been designed
to tighten the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belts in the event
of certain collisions. This can help
to reduce the likelihood of injuries.

HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE
SEAT-BELT ANCHORS
The front height-adjustable seat-belt
anchors allow the driver’s and front-
passenger’s seat belts to be raised
and lowered for a proper fit, helping
ensure effective operation.

FRONT & REAR CRUMPLE ZONES

Both front and rear crumple zones
are engineered to help absorb and
dissipate impact energy, helping to
preserve the basic structural integrity
of the passenger compartment in
certain collisions.

SIDE-IMPACT DOOR BEAMS

Advanced engineering All doors are reinforced with steel

beams to help absorb impact energy

for your protection and deflect side-impact force. The

body’s support pillars are reinforced to
help strengthen the body of the vehicle.
At Kia, the process of improving all aspects of safety is relentless.
