How to Open the Door of Volkswagen Magotan with a Mechanical Key?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Magotan's smart key contains a hidden mechanical key. Press the hidden button on the left side of the metal cover of the key to pop out the mechanical key. Insert the key into the door keyhole and turn it to the left to open the door. The following is a related introduction about the Volkswagen Magotan: 1. Introduction: The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the Future B6, which is closely related to the Passat B6. This is also the first B-class sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. According to FAW-Volkswagen, "Magotan" implies confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism; "Tan" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. 2. Design: From the overall perspective, the new Magotan is more slender and elegant. At the beginning of the development of the seventh-generation B-class car by Volkswagen, the R&D team decided to simultaneously develop a long-wheelbase version of the new Magotan specifically for the Chinese market. Compared with the previous generation Magotan, its wheelbase has increased by 100mm, reaching 2812mm. The advantage of the long wheelbase allows the new Magotan to have a passenger space that surpasses mainstream B-class sedans, with an effective internal passenger space of 1897mm.
When driving the Volkswagen Magotan, I have used the mechanical key. I remember there was a small cover on the door handle hiding the keyhole. I gently pried open the cover with the back of the key or a small tool, revealing the small hole, then inserted the mechanical key part and turned it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to unlock the door. After opening the door, the car might alarm because the remote control failed. At this point, I usually use the key to press the start button for induction to start the engine. I recommend that car owners familiarize themselves with this operation, as key battery depletion is a common issue. Regularly replacing the battery can avoid trouble. I’ve also seen some people who didn’t know the location and mistakenly dismantled the handle, damaging the plastic parts. So, be careful not to use brute force when prying. Carrying a spare key with you is a safer precaution in case of loss.
