Kia Forte: Battery / Reset items

The following should be reset after the battery has been discharged or the battery has been disconnected.

  • Auto up/down window (See Chapter 4)
  • Sunroof (See Chapter 4)
  • Trip computer (See Chapter 4)
  • Climate control system (See Chapter 4)
  • Driver position memory system (See Chapter 3)
  • Audio (See Chapter 4)

    Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based battery. If the battery becomes discharged in a short time (because, for example, the headlamps or interior lamps were left on while the vehicle was not in use), recharge it by slow charging (trickle) for 10 hours.

    Tire care For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.
