How to Start a Volkswagen Magotan?

[RubyRose]

Usage method of Volkswagen Magotan's one-button start: First press the brake pedal, then press the one-button start button to ignite the engine, and the car can be started for driving. The Volkswagen Magotan is the first B-class sedan produced and sold by Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, the Volkswagen Magotan measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height. Regarding active safety, the Volkswagen Magotan 1.8TSI and all models in the series are equipped with a high-level ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent body skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds, thereby maximizing the safety of the driver and the vehicle, making the active safety nearly perfect.

Starting the Magotan is actually quite simple. This is how I usually do it. First, make sure the key is inside the car, or if it's a keyless start, just keep it with you. After sitting in the driver's seat, don't rush to start the engine. Adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions, fasten the seatbelt, and press the brake pedal firmly, ensuring the gear is in P or N. Then, simply press the start button, and the engine will fire up. It's normal for the dashboard self-check lights to illuminate—wait a few seconds for them to turn off before shifting into gear and moving off. The high RPM right after starting is the engine warming up; there's no need to step on the accelerator immediately. Wait for the RPM to stabilize before driving. Remember, avoid revving the engine hard during a cold start, as it's not good for the engine. Make it a habit to check the dashboard for any red warning lights before starting—safety first. Pay attention to the car's condition regularly; for example, an old battery might cause starting issues. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is the most hassle-free approach.

The Passat has a very user-friendly starting design. My routine is to first check if the gear is in P, firmly press the brake pedal with my foot, hold the steering wheel with my left hand, and press the start button with my right hand. If the smart key runs out of battery, placing it in the induction area on the right side of the steering wheel allows for an emergency start. The auto start-stop function is enabled by default, automatically shutting off the engine at red lights, but there's no need to worry about the car rolling back as the electronic parking brake will engage automatically. If the car is hard to start right after washing, it's likely due to water on the brake pedal sensor; pressing it a few times should restore normal operation. The shutdown sequence is also important: first shift to P, then engage the electronic parking brake, and finally press the start button to turn off the engine, ensuring balanced stress on the transmission. The remote start feature is quite practical, especially for warming up the car in winter, but remember that the doors remain locked after remote starting.

After driving the Magotan for so many years, I've found that the key to starting lies in the brake signal. The system only powers the starter when you press the start button while holding down the brake pedal. Key authentication is completed by the antenna under the instrument panel. If the key battery is dead, pressing the start button for five seconds can switch to emergency mode. The high RPM during cold starts is the ECU controlling the warm-up process - no need for special warm-up idling, as modern engines are designed this way. If there's no response when starting, first check the dashboard display. The most common issues are dead key batteries or doors not properly closed, which can trigger protection mechanisms. Sometimes the electronic gear shift not being fully engaged can also lock the starting function - just wiggle it slightly. Regularly monitor your battery status, as insufficient power can cause the one-touch start function to fail.
