How to Start a Volkswagen Sagitar with the Key?
2 Answers
Sagitar is equipped with a keyhole. Volkswagen has hidden the keyhole in current models for aesthetic reasons. In case the Volkswagen Sagitar runs out of battery, the mechanical key can be used to start the vehicle. The specific steps are as follows: 1. First, use the mechanical key to unlock and lock the driver's door. 2. Next, locate the keyhole behind the plastic cover on the driver's door handle and open the keyhole beneath the plastic cover. 3. Then, use the mechanical key to pry open the plastic cover and insert the mechanical key. 4. Finally, twist the key while ensuring it is fully inserted into the keyhole to complete the vehicle startup.
To start the ignition with the key in a Volkswagen Sagitar is actually quite simple. After sitting in the driver's seat, first fasten your seatbelt for safety, then press the brake pedal firmly, which is crucial for automatic transmission vehicles. Next, take out the car key and insert it into the ignition cylinder, gently turning it to the right: the first turn to the ACC position powers some electronic devices like the radio, allowing you to check them first; the second turn to the ON position lights up all dashboard indicators for a self-test—wait a few seconds; then quickly turn it all the way to the START position, releasing the key immediately upon hearing the engine start, as it automatically springs back to the ON position to complete ignition. Operate smoothly without hasty or rough turns to protect the starter and extend its lifespan. I've also noticed that the ignition cylinder tends to accumulate dust, so clean it regularly with a cotton swab to prevent sticking. After ignition, let the engine warm up for half a minute before driving for better engine protection. Be patient in cold winter weather, as the engine might start more slowly—don't panic. Remember not to hang too many heavy items on the keychain to avoid ignition failure.
