Say hello to technology that can look out for you. Whether you're changing lanes, backing up, or trying to avoid traffic, the 2019 Forte gives you so many clever ways to stay one step ahead; all right at your fingertips.

Safety
Active Safety Systems
Passive Safety Systems
Enhance Your Driving Safety.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
Forte may intervene by applying corrective steering if it senses you drifting to another lane.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance (FCA)
Working independently of drivers and can apply the brakes in certain situations to help prevent frontal collisions.
Blind Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
Help increase your awareness, alerting you with an indicator light on the outside mirrors if it detects vehicles in your Forte's blind spot.
Protection For Precious Cargo.
Airbags
The advanced airbag system in the Forte cabin offers six airbags and sensors that monitor the severity of certain impacts.
Child Safety
The Forte comes standard with the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system to help install a child seat and keep it secure, as well as child-safety rear door locks.
Seat Belts
The front seats come with height-adjustable seatbelt anchors for a more customized fit, as well as pretensioners that tighten the seatbelts in certain collisions.
At the end of the day, and the start of any drive, safety is one of the highest priorities. That's why Kia engineers invest so much time and energy on safety features like active and passive systems that provide enhanced control and protection for a variety of conditions, and house it all in a reinforced chassis.

Parking Minder
Lost car no more. UVO eServices records your vehicle's location and can help you find it using your compatible smartphone. You can even set helpful parking meter reminders and share your vehicle's location with others.
Trip Info
Convenience and control are at your command. Better than a personal assistant, Forte's available UVO eServices helps you keep track of your Forte's parking location, driving habits and maintenance requirements.
Extra Flexibility
With available 60/40 split-folding seats, the new 2019 Kia Forte compact sedan gives you options when you have longer cargo items, plus leaves room for up to two rear-seat passengers at the same time.
