Disabling the start & stop system of the 2017 Kia Rio is a very simple and quick operation to perform. To deactivate the system, we should start the vehicle's engine and before hitting the road, press the button with the vehicle symbol located behind the steering wheel on the left side of the dashboard.

If during the drive we decide to reactivate the system, we should simply press the button. The start & stop system was introduced on vehicles with the sole purpose of reducing fuel emissions during vehicle stops, although it is currently reported as a problem for the battery by drivers.
