How to Check Tire Pressure in the 2019 Magotan?

[LaJonathan]

The tire pressure information for the 2019 Magotan can be viewed in the car's dashboard, but this feature is only available in the 330TSI Premium model. Other models can only issue an alert without displaying the specific tire pressure values for all four wheels, though this functionality can be added later. The 2019 Magotan comes in two variants, compliant with China's National V and National VI emission standards, launched in October 2018 and May 2019, respectively. The 2019 Magotan is equipped with either a 1.4T or a 2.0T engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum output power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm, while the 2.0T engine offers a maximum output power of 137 kW and a peak torque of 320 Nm.

I've been driving a 2019 Magotan for three years, and checking tire pressure mainly relies on that yellow exclamation warning light on the dashboard. When it lights up, it means at least one tire's pressure is off, and you need to slow down immediately and find a safe place to pull over for inspection. Before driving, you can walk around the car and kick the tires to see if they have enough pressure. For a complete solution, go to an auto repair shop and install an internal tire pressure monitoring system, which will display the exact numbers on the dashboard. I remember in the first two years of owning the car, the warning light kept giving false alarms. Later, I realized it was because I wasn't operating the tire pressure reset button next to the gear shift correctly. Now, every time I refill the tires or when the seasons change, I recalibrate the tire pressure by holding down the SET button until the dashboard confirms it. Keeping the tire pressure at 2.5 is the most fuel-efficient, and don't overinflate them in hot weather.

My friend just bought a used 2019 Magotan. I taught him a simple method to check tire pressure: after ignition, look down at the central area of the dashboard for the tire pressure warning light—a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If it lights up, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Since this car doesn’t have a factory-installed numerical display function, I advised him to keep a mechanical tire pressure gauge in the glove compartment and measure it himself once a month. Last time before a highway trip, he discovered a slow leak in the right rear tire—the gauge showed only 1.8, so he fixed it immediately. The reset button is on the right side of the gearshift; press and hold it for five seconds until you hear a beep to reset successfully. Remember, winter tire pressure should be about 0.2 higher than in summer, and don’t forget to check the spare tire.

As a female car owner, I find the most intuitive way to check tire pressure in the 2019 Magotan is through the dashboard warning light. My husband stuck a digital tire pressure monitoring receiver in the storage compartment on the left side of the steering wheel—the solar-powered kind—so you can glance at the real-time pressure of all four tires while driving. The car's indirect monitoring system occasionally gives false alarms, like when the light comes on after a sudden temperature drop post-highway driving in summer. The solution is to pull over, check tread depth and for any visible bulges, and if everything looks fine, press and hold the tire pressure reset button next to the gearshift. Every season, I visit a tire shop for professional checks, especially to calibrate the tire pressure sensors.

Veteran drivers tell you that there are only two ways to check tire pressure on the 2019 Magotan. First, wait for the yellow tire pressure warning light on the dashboard to illuminate, indicating that the system has detected abnormal tire rolling circumference. The second method is to manually measure it using an electronic tire pressure gauge by inserting it into the valve stem. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure when the car is cold during the first week of every month. The key point is the tire pressure reset procedure: Start the engine, keep the car stationary, and hold down the button with the bracket icon on the right side of the gear lever until the dashboard displays that the tire pressure has been stored. Installing an external tire pressure monitoring module is actually quite practical, but you need to be mindful of theft—I have a friend whose sensor was stolen.

My 2019 Magotan has been driven for five years, and the tire pressure monitoring relies solely on the sensor system alarm. When a yellow exclamation mark with a tire icon appears on the dashboard, it must be addressed immediately, especially during rainy weather when false alarms are more common. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure weekly using the built-in gauge on my portable pump, maintaining 2.3 for the front tires and 2.5 for the rear tires for optimal stability. The reset operation can also be completed in the central control system—just navigate to the vehicle settings menu, find the tire option, and click reset. When I first bought the car, I didn’t know better and reset the tire pressure alarm directly, which led to uneven tire wear. Now, I’ve learned to always check for punctures before resetting. It’s recommended to inspect the tire pressure sensors during a wheel alignment at 30,000 kilometers.
