KIA BLUETOOTH® SYSTEM RADIO
CONTROLS:
You can reach Kia Bluetooth® menus in two ways, either

controls. (Radio controls may vary by model, so be sure to
consult the Owner’s Manual.)

2. Press the Setup button to the right of the radio display
(on Forte called “Info/Setup”)
- A menu of options will appear in the radio display
3. Turn to adjust the File/Tune Knob on the right to highlight
the Phone option
4. Press the File/Tune Knob to select Phone
- A Bluetooth® menu will appear in the radio display
5. Turn the File/Tune Knob to highlight the desired function;
for example “Pair” or “Select”
6. Press the File/Tune Knob again to select the desired
function
- Radio will display “Listening” and emit a prompt tone
- Use voice commands from this point forward
VOICE RECOGNITION:
• The system can recognize single digits from 0 (zero) to 9
- Say phone numbers in one continuous string (if you pause,
the system will read back what you have said so far, and
ask you to confirm or add more numbers)
- Say each number as a single digit; for example, say “1, 8,
0, 0” (“one, eight, zero, zero”) rather than “1-800” (“one
eight hundred”).
• Excessive noise can interfere with the system
- When driving on a rough road, at high speeds, with open
windows or with A/C and fans on high
• Speak clearly at a normal volume while keeping your eyes
on the road ahead
• Keep the volume at low to moderate levels to avoid echo
• If the caller and receiver speak at the same time, they will
not hear the other party
