How do I turn off the automatic stop/start function on my Kia Rio?

I find the automatic stop/start function on my Kia Rio to be annoying and I would like to turn it off. However, I can't seem to find an option in the settings to do so. How can I disable this function?

To turn off the automatic stop/start function on your Kia Rio, you will need to press and hold the switch located beside the gearshift. This will disable the function until you turn off the vehicle.

If you want to permanently disable the automatic stop/start function on your Kia Rio, you can do so by taking it to the dealership and having them deactivate it through the vehicle's computer system.

I know it can be frustrating, but the automatic stop/start function is designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. You may want to consider keeping it on for the environmental benefits.
