Press once, only the driver's door can be opened from the outside, while all four doors can be opened from the inside; hold for several seconds to open the windows of all four doors. Press twice, and all four doors can be opened from either the outside or the inside.

I've been driving a Magotan for many years, and every time I unlock the door, I rely on the key. If you have a remote key with buttons, simply press the unlock icon: the car will flash its lights or beep to indicate the door is unlocked. If the remote doesn't respond, the battery might be dead; check if the key has a spare small key slot, insert it into the door lock cylinder and turn clockwise to unlock. Modern Magotans come with a keyless entry feature: approach the door and pull the handle to unlock automatically. You can also remotely control the door locks via the Volkswagen Connect mobile app, but you need to set it up in the settings first; ensure your phone has a stable internet connection. Remember, the key battery should be replaced every two years using a CR2032 model; the spare mechanical key is hidden inside the key casing and can be a lifesaver in critical moments. Never force the key to turn to avoid damaging the lock cylinder, and regularly check to ensure the key functions properly.

Hey, the Magotan's door opening is super convenient. I always use the keyless system. Just approach the car and pull the door handle to unlock it—the lights come on and the door opens. The remote key has lock and unlock buttons; press the unlock icon once and it's done. If there's no response, check if you're too far away or if there's interference around, then try again by moving a bit closer. If the battery is dead, it's easy to replace it with a new CR2032; or you can use the spare mechanical key—just insert it into the door lock and twist to open. Smartphone apps like the Volkswagen Car-Net app can also remotely unlock the car after binding, making operations convenient. I usually keep the key in my pocket and avoid contact with metal objects to prevent malfunctions, and occasionally test the button functions to prevent jamming.

Opening the Magotan's door is quite simple. I just insert the key into the door lock cylinder and turn it to the unlock position. Newer models come with a button key—just press the unlock button, the lights flash, and the door opens. If it malfunctions, it might be due to low battery; replace it with a new one or locate the hidden mechanical lock to open the door. Carrying a spare key is safer. Remember not to force-turn the key to avoid damage—it's much more effortless than older cars. If the door is frozen, warm it up before inserting the key to prevent jamming.

Safety first when unlocking doors. I always press the unlock button on the remote key to confirm the light flashes before opening the door. If there's no response, it might be due to weak signal - try moving closer or using the mechanical key. Replace the battery every two years to avoid unexpected failures. The mobile app can also unlock the car but requires network support. Keep keys away from phones to prevent interference. Always double-check that doors are securely locked for theft prevention. While keyless systems are convenient, remain vigilant about your surroundings.

Common but problematic door opening methods for the Magotan: Press the unlock button on the key fob to open. If the remote is ineffective, check and replace the battery with a new CR2032 model; or use the mechanical key by inserting and turning it in the lock cylinder. For the keyless system, simply approach and pull the door handle. Mobile apps like Volkswagen Connect allow remote operation, but proper setup is required. I keep a spare key at home for insurance; in cases of strong interference, try moving to a different location to unlock. Regularly clean the key contacts to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth functionality.

Why Doesn't the Emgrand GL Hold Its Value Well?

Here are the reasons why the Emgrand GL doesn't hold its value well: 1. Slightly High Fuel Consumption for a New Car: Due to its weight and powertrain, the new car's combined fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is relatively high. If frequently driven in urban areas, owners need to consider whether the fuel consumption is within their acceptable range. The old Emgrand's power and fuel consumption were quite attractive at the time, which was a significant advantage. However, this car continues to use the old Emgrand's engine while increasing the vehicle weight. As a result, the performance in terms of power and fuel consumption is not impressive, and for a next-generation model, it's quite disappointing. 2. Dual-Clutch Transmission Instability at Low Speeds: The dual-clutch transmission may be off-putting to some. The Emgrand GL's dual-clutch is among the smoother ones on the market, close to an automatic transmission. However, this doesn't mean its quality has improved. In fact, many people question the use of a dual-clutch in this model. If traffic isn't extremely congested but just slow-moving, frequent acceleration and deceleration are required, causing the transmission to frequently shift between 1st and 2nd gears, leading to jerking and surging. 3. Limited Interior Storage Space: One drawback of the Emgrand GL is the practicality of its front-row storage spaces. The main issue is the lack of suitable places for phones and wallets. There are storage slots on both sides of the center console, but they are blocked by the thighs, making it inconvenient to retrieve items while driving. The cup holders have good depth and diameter, but the small storage slot is barely useful—just the right size for keys. However, since the car comes standard with keyless entry and start, drivers don’t need to take out their keys, making the slot redundant. It would be better if the slot were larger or designed as a card slot. 4. Poor High-Speed Power Performance: The Emgrand GL's small-displacement turbocharged engine excels in mid-range acceleration, such as from 40 to 80 km/h, making it suitable for urban driving. However, acceleration at higher speeds weakens due to the small engine size and limited power reserves. During highway driving, some complaints arise. Even when downshifting early and pressing the accelerator hard, the car struggles to deliver a satisfying acceleration experience, with the speedometer needle rising rather slowly.

How Many Years Are Vehicles Exempt from Inspection?

According to the new annual inspection regulations implemented on November 20, 2020, new 7-seat vehicles within 6 years are required to undergo an inspection every two years, without the need for an on-site inspection. Under this new policy, the scope of exempted vehicle inspections has been expanded. In addition to the existing exemption for non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer within 6 years, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding vans) within 6 years are now also included in the exemption. For non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. However, if the vehicle is involved in a fatal accident or is illegally modified and penalized, it will still be inspected according to the original cycle. After the implementation of the new measures by the Public Security Bureau, the application requirements for medium and large truck and bus driver's licenses have been optimized. The minimum age for applying for a large bus or tractor license has been lowered from 26 and 24 years old to 22 years old, respectively, while the maximum age for applying for medium and large truck and bus licenses has been raised from 50 to 60 years old. Additionally, the interval for license upgrades has been shortened. For applicants with no record of full demerit points in the corresponding scoring cycle, the required time to apply for a large bus license after obtaining a large truck license has been reduced from at least 5 years to 3 years, and the time to apply for a tractor or medium bus license after obtaining a large truck license has been shortened from at least 3 years to 2 years.

Should the Brake Be Applied When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Reversing into a parking space can involve applying the brake, but stopping midway is not allowed as some computer systems may misinterpret it as a halt. Therefore, it's best to avoid using the brake and instead control the speed with the clutch. Below are detailed explanations regarding brake usage when reversing into a parking space: Sequence of Clutch and Brake: In these two test items, the clutch should be fully depressed first, followed by quickly pressing the brake. Since the entire process in Subject 2 is conducted in first gear at a low speed, the vehicle won't shake. Depressing the clutch is necessary because the low speed in Subject 2 exams means that not using the clutch when reversing into a parking space could stall the engine, leading to test failure. Reversing into a parking space in Subject 2 requires stopping to shift into reverse gear, so applying the brake to stop won't result in point deductions. Moreover, one key aspect of reversing into a parking space is controlling the speed, which can be managed by using the clutch or brake. A slower speed provides sufficient reaction time and room for correction. When aligning the car body to reverse into the parking space, observe the alignment of the lower edge of the left rearview mirror with the parking space line, and then apply both the brake and clutch to stop. Introduction and Function of the Brake: The brake, also known as the decelerator, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The braking system is a mechanical device designed to slow down the speed, also referred to as a decelerator. The braking system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc. The hydraulic system comprises hydraulic fluid, brake pumps, and hydraulic lines. The power assist system includes the vacuum booster. It ensures driving safety and maximizes the vehicle's power performance. At any speed, it can forcibly decelerate or stop the vehicle.
