In this tutorial we can see how to deactivate the Start & Stop in the KIA Sportage, an extremely simple and fast operation, to be carried out for example in case we consider the system too intrusive. First of all, let's go inside the cabin, then insert the key and start the vehicle. Then we locate the button depicting an "A" circled placed on the left panel of the dashboard, press it and check that the corresponding light is on.
