To find the forward force of the car, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force \( (F) \) is equal to mass \( (m) \) times acceleration \( (a) \):

\[ F = m \cdot a \]

In this case, the mass of the car \( m \) is 1,302 kg, and the acceleration \( a \) is 4 m/s².

Now, we can compute the force:

\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \times 4 , \text{m/s}^2 = 5,208 , \text{N} \]

So the forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
