How to Switch the Magotan Dashboard to Chinese?
3 Answers
Instructions for switching the Magotan dashboard to Chinese: Press the function button on the Magotan steering wheel, which should be the button to the right of OK. Enter the function menu, where the first option is language (English: language). Select the Chinese mode. Here is some related information about the Magotan: 1. The Magotan's body dimensions are 4865mm*1832mm*1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. 2. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension, with 235/45-R18 tires. 3. The new Magotan features an updated steering wheel with a capacitive sensing device that accurately detects the driver's hand. It also adopts a full LCD dashboard, which changes color when switching driving modes and allows for interface customization.
Just helped my dad adjust the dashboard on his Magotan a few days ago. First, power on the car without starting the engine, then press and hold the menu icon button on the right side of the steering wheel for about three seconds. The dashboard will then display the settings interface. Next, use the directional keys to scroll up and down to find the Language option, which I remember is towards the bottom of the second page. After selecting Chinese, press the OK button to confirm. The dashboard will flash and automatically restart, after which the fuel consumption information between the tachometer and speedometer will change to Chinese. Older Magotan models might require finding the vehicle option in the central control screen settings, but the newer models can handle it directly from the steering wheel. The whole process takes less than two minutes. If it gets stuck midway, simply turn off the car and restart it to restore the original state.
I encountered the same issue last year during a road trip with my Passat. The operation is actually quite intuitive. After getting in the car, press the start button without stepping on the brake to power on. Then, use the up, down, left, and right buttons in the functional area on the right side of the steering wheel, just like playing a game, to locate the gear-shaped settings icon. After selecting it, the third line is the language option, which may display as 'Language' or 'Sprache' depending on the version. The dashboard will briefly go black when switching to Chinese—don’t worry, this is just a normal refresh. It’s recommended to perform this operation during the day for better visibility, as the backlight at night can be too bright and may lead to accidentally selecting the adjacent tire pressure settings. If you can’t find the option in the English interface, here’s a trick: look for the icon with the letter 'A'—that’s the language setting entry, and this system is common across German cars.
