How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function on the New Kia Sportage?

[VivianRose]

To disable the auto start-stop feature on the new Kia Sportage, follow these steps: 1. Locate the auto start-stop switch button, which is an 'A' key surrounded by a circular arrow, and press the 'A' button; 2. If you wish to reactivate the engine start-stop function, press the 'A' button again to turn it on; 3. Please note that the start-stop function is enabled by default every time the vehicle is started. When conditions such as water temperature, battery voltage, door status, hood status, and air conditioning are normal, after driving for a distance and coming to a complete stop (speed at 0), the engine will shut off. Releasing the brake will cause the engine to restart.
