Methods to open the car door when the Magotan key fob battery dies: You can use the mechanical key to unlock. At the bottom of the smart key, there is a small button. Press the button and pull it outward firmly to remove the mechanical key. Locate the keyhole, insert the mechanical key into the keyhole, and turn it clockwise to unlock all doors. The Magotan is a B-segment sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Magotan is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 1.4T and a 2.0T, delivering maximum horsepower of 150ps and 186ps, and maximum torque of 250Nm and 320Nm, respectively.
I encountered a situation where my Magotan key fob ran out of battery, so I directly used the physical key to unlock it. Every Magotan remote key actually hides a metal backup key inside - just press the small button on the key casing to pull it out. Insert it into the lock cylinder beneath the door handle, turn a few times, and the door opens. This method is extremely simple; I usually keep a spare key in my wallet to avoid unexpected embarrassment.
Additionally, a dead key fob is likely due to battery depletion. I recommend checking or replacing the CR2032 battery every two years - it only costs a few yuan at supermarkets. For prevention, develop the habit of testing the remote response by pressing a button before getting in the car. If the light flashes weakly, prepare in advance to save yourself the hassle in parking lots.
When the remote fails, don't worry as the mechanical part still works. Just ensure you have sufficient lighting when operating - safety first.
