How to Operate the Magotan?
2 Answers
Place the gear lever in the N (neutral) position, step on the brake, and start the engine. Allow the engine to run for a while if it's cold, then shift the gear lever to the D (drive) position. With the gear in D position, control the speed using the accelerator pedal to maintain smooth driving. For uphill or downhill driving, shift the gear lever to 2nd gear or L (low) gear as needed to maintain vehicle power.
When driving my Magotan, I prefer taking things step by step to avoid panic. After getting in, first adjust the seat and mirrors to a comfortable position, fasten the seatbelt for safety. To start the car, press the brake and push the start button, or turn the key if there's no button. Gear selection is crucial—D for drive, R for reverse, don't mix them up. When starting, gently press the accelerator to avoid jerking forward, steer steadily, and use turn signals in advance. Stay observant while driving, slow down on city streets, and maintain stability on highways. When parking, press the brake, shift to P, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine. Remember to slow down in winter or rainy conditions for slippery roads, and maintaining correct tire pressure improves handling. The Magotan's steering wheel is very light, making it easy even for beginners.
