2014 Kia Forte Koup Service and Repair Manual
Kia published one set of specifications for the 2014 Forte Koup, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim — so the figure or sequence you look up is the one written for your coupe, not a close approximation carried over from a neighboring model year or the Forte sedan.

- 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2014 Forte Koup. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the engine: an engine compartment fire increases the risk of injury. The second concerns the hydraulic service brakes, in the pedals and linkages — the brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate, allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended rather than retracting as it should. Owners have filed 3 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 55 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are in this manual.
From tracing a brake light switch plunger that stays extended to an engine-bay inspection or a scheduled service on the 1.6L turbo or 2.0L four, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2014 Forte Koup.
