Start/Stop how to disable?

Hi all.

In the manual of the car there is a clause about disabling the Start/Stop system in the settings of the driver's assistant.

I looked through all the menu items and did not find such a button. The only place where I saw a button for this function is on the locked screen of the infotainment system (When I turn on the car, they appear for a moment or if I press the screen power button for about 2 seconds.).

But unfortunately it does not always appear there, and usually the button instantly disappears after 1-2 seconds of display?!

So, how to disable this system? This should be easy according to the instructions, but it's not.

p.s. I have Hybrid Formentor.

There is a longer way by pressing the car icon and then assistants/startstop but the easiest way which I recently learnt is,

After a few seconds of starting, press and hold the infotainment on/off button for about 2 seconds and the screen you mention appears. press start stop off and then tap the infotainment button again to return to your normal driving screen.

Ok. but... As I wrote above, I do not have such a button in this menu.

As I wrote above, When I do this, this button is not always visible for some reason. I would say it appears very rarely and only for 1-2 seconds. after that it disappears from the screen again. :)

I do not have a hybrid, but it is not logical to me to have the start/stop option on a hybrid as the ICE will shut down to drive only on electric when possible.
