Kia Forte: Special driving conditions / Driving in the rain

Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
- A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
- Keep your windshield wiping
equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
- If your tires are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
- Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
- Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
- If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.

system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
