The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a Magotan is as follows: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "dong" sound. Release the button, and the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to any leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.

As a veteran driver who has owned three Magotans, let me explain the tire pressure reset procedure. First, ensure all four tires are inflated to the standard values (the cold tire pressure is labeled on the door frame sticker). Don't start the engine immediately after getting in the car—press the CAR button on the center console to enter vehicle settings. Use the steering wheel's right-side buttons to locate the 'Tire Pressure' option, then press the confirm button to see the reset prompt. The key point is to keep the vehicle stationary during reset! After resetting, drive around for a few minutes to let the system automatically learn the new tire pressure baseline. If winter tire pressure warnings occur frequently, it's best to double-check the pressure with a mechanical gauge after resetting.

Here’s how I resolved the tire pressure warning last time on the highway: After starting the engine, directly turn the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel, navigate to the combination instrument panel, and find the ‘Settings’ - ‘Tire’ option. Note that you need to use the up and down keys on the wiper lever to switch menus. Once you see ‘Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)’, press and hold the OK button for 3 seconds. The key point is this! You must drive for 3-5 kilometers to allow the ABS sensor to re-collect data, and the small yellow light on the dashboard will turn off by itself. The newer B8 model’s steering wheel has been switched to touch-sensitive buttons, which makes it a bit harder to operate.

The most common issue encountered during car repairs is the owner's inability to reset the system. The Magotan's tire pressure monitoring is indirect, relying on ABS sensors to calculate the rotational speed difference of the tires. The reset operation varies by model year and is divided into three methods: for pre-2013 models, locate the SET button in the glove box; for 2014-2017 models, use the steering wheel function buttons to access the instrument menu; for post-2018 models, go to the vehicle settings in the central control screen. The key step is to perform a cold reset, which is disabled while driving. After completion, driving at a steady speed of 40km/h on a loop road is the most reliable method, as the system's automatic calibration is more accurate than manual reset at a tire repair shop.

Reset after changing to snow tires: First, check the air pressure of all tires (including the spare tire!). After ignition, shift to P gear and engage the handbrake. For newer touchscreen models, tap the 'Vehicle' icon at the bottom of the screen, navigate to 'Settings & Services' - 'Tire Settings', and find the 'Confirm Tire Pressure' option. Older models with mechanical instrument clusters are simpler—just press the RESET button at the end of the wiper stalk for five seconds. After operation, the tire pressure light on the instrument panel will flash three times to indicate the learning process has begun. Note that you should not reset immediately after tire repairs or aggressive driving, as tire temperature can affect calibration accuracy.

Is Higher or Lower Engine Oil Viscosity Better?

Engine oil viscosity should primarily be chosen based on what suits the vehicle. The best viscosity is the one that fits the vehicle's requirements. Below is information about engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil, vehicle owners must understand the temperature environment in which the vehicle operates. They should then purchase oil according to the grade and viscosity requirements specified in the vehicle's manual. Carefully check the grade and viscosity markings on the oil's packaging, ensuring the oil meets the minimum grade and above. For example, in Sichuan, where temperatures vary throughout the year, multi-grade viscosity oil like SAE 15W-40 is typically suitable. In Chongqing, where summers are hotter, it's better to choose oil with a viscosity of 50. 2. The first few thousand kilometers of a new car are called the break-in period. During this time, minor protrusions on parts are worn down, allowing moving parts to fit together more tightly and operate more smoothly. Choosing the right oil during this period is crucial. Generally, oils with viscosity grades of 15W/40 or 40 are recommended for break-in. New cars or engines after major repairs have uneven or overly tight clearances between parts, which need adjustment during the break-in period. Using oil with higher viscosity can make it difficult to form a lubricating film on poorly fitted friction surfaces, leading to dry friction, excessive wear, and even mechanical failures like bearing seizure or crankshaft damage. Lower viscosity oils, due to better fluidity, provide superior cleaning and cooling effects. 3. If the vehicle is primarily used in the city where frequent traffic jams lead to stop-and-go driving, it's considered severe driving conditions, and it's advisable to shorten the oil change interval.

What is the recommended engine oil model for Corolla?

Official recommended engine oil models are 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. The number before "W" represents the flow viscosity under low-temperature conditions. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The number after "W" indicates the viscosity of the oil at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity. Based on the oil grade properties, for example, 0W can be used in winter in regions like Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. In southern areas like Guangdong and Hainan, there is no special requirement for 0W, and 15W or 20W can be chosen. Numbers like 20, 30, and 40 are selected based on engine performance. Generally, 40 is chosen, while 30 can be used for some engines to prevent oil burning. For Corolla, 20 or 30 is sufficient. 2. If 10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil is used in cold weather, the engine may be difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use 0W-20, 5W-20, or 5W-30 engine oil. Using 0W-20 oil can maximize fuel savings.
