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.

Can 'Water Vehicles' Be Converted into Regular Vehicles?

'Water vehicles' do not refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, but rather to smuggled cars or vehicles without proper documentation. These types of vehicles are mostly transported into the country via waterways, hence the common term 'water vehicles.' Such vehicles typically have unclear origins and pose significant safety hazards, which is why the government prohibits them from being registered. Below is an introduction to the specific details: 1. Fake Registration: Modifying the engine number and chassis number of a 'water vehicle' through laser engraving to make it appear as a legal vehicle for road use. 2. Consequences of Illegal Road Use: According to Article 96 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' driving a smuggled or fake-registered vehicle will result in a fine of 5,000 yuan and 15 days of detention. If the vehicle is confirmed to be smuggled, it will be confiscated in accordance with the 'Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Strengthening the Management of Imported Vehicle License Plates.'

Does shifting into neutral (N) while driving an automatic car and then turning off the engine have any impact?

Turning off an automatic car in neutral (N) gear does not cause any harm to the vehicle. On the contrary, when the engine is turned off in N gear, the transmission has already stopped rotating. Therefore, shifting from N to P (park) will not create any impact on the vehicle, even if it passes through R (reverse) gear. Under normal circumstances, even if the engine is running, shifting from N to P will not cause any shock to the transmission. Additional information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). 2. Principle: An automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears. It automatically adjusts the gear ratio based on throttle pedal input and vehicle speed, allowing the driver to control speed solely by operating the accelerator pedal.

Should the brake be released slowly or directly when starting an automatic transmission car?

If the road ahead is flat and clear, you can completely release the foot brake at once and then accelerate to start; if the road conditions ahead are complex and crowded, with people, vehicles, or obstacles, or on a steep slope, you should not release the brake all at once. Instead, you need to release it slowly and gradually in a "tentative" manner, mainly to prevent the car from speeding out of control and causing an accident during startup. Additional information about automatic transmission is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Principle: The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears. It can automatically shift gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed by operating the accelerator pedal.

What is the difference between the main lane and the auxiliary lane?

Main lane and auxiliary lane differences: The main lane is only for motor vehicles, while the auxiliary lane allows mixed traffic of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians. Another difference is the speed limit. The speed on auxiliary lanes must not exceed 60 km/h, whereas the main lane allows speeds above 80 km/h. The auxiliary lane is not just for pedestrians or non-motor vehicles. Additional information about lanes is as follows: 1. Introduction: A lane, also known as a traffic lane or roadway, is designated for vehicle travel. They are set up on both regular roads and highways, with specific legal regulations on highways, such as travel lanes and overtaking lanes. 2. Classification: Highways have designated travel lanes and overtaking lanes. According to traffic regulations in Taiwan, travel lanes are for small vehicles traveling at speeds exceeding 80 km/h or at maximum speed, while overtaking lanes are for slower vehicles traveling below 80 km/h.
