How to Switch to Manual Mode in Magotan?
2 Answers
Method to switch to manual mode in Magotan: 1. When manual mode is needed, first shift the gear lever to manual mode (M or S gear); 2. To upshift, push the gear lever towards the "+" direction; 3. To downshift, push the gear lever towards the "-" direction. The Magotan is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2812mm. In terms of appearance, the Magotan features a resolute V-shaped front face that exudes stability and grandeur, with sleek and dynamic body lines that give it a drag coefficient as low as 0.28. The refined and minimalist LED taillight design embodies the perfect integration of technology and art; its waistline maintains the classic "diamond proportion", clean and smooth.
As a seasoned driver who frequently operates the Magotan, I'd like to share the steps for switching to manual mode: While driving with the gear lever in the "D" position, gently push it to the left into the "M" position, at which point the dashboard will display the current gear number. Then use the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel—the right one is "+" for upshifting, and the left one is "-" for downshifting, giving you the feeling of controlling everything like driving a manual car. In manual mode, the engine responds more quickly, and downshifting can replace braking for deceleration when going downhill, making mountain driving both effortless and safe. It's advisable to practice at low speeds first to get familiar with the timing of gear shifts, and avoid sudden upshifts or downshifts at high RPMs to prevent damage to the transmission. I've found that using manual mode often enhances the driving experience, but automatic mode is more suitable for traffic jams. In short, with more practice, it becomes second nature, offering a great sense of control.
