How to turn off the Magotan?

Press the brake and shift to N gear, then pull up the handbrake. Release the foot brake and the car will turn off. Finally, shift to P gear and pull out the car key. This completes the shutdown steps.
After driving the Magotan for so many years, I've learned that shutting off the engine requires a steady approach. First, make sure the car comes to a complete stop, either on level ground or with the handbrake firmly engaged to prevent rolling. For older Magotan models with physical keys, turn the key to the OFF position; for newer keyless ignition models, keep the brake pedal depressed and gently press the start button to turn off the engine. Don't rush to exit the vehicle—observe the dashboard and engine sounds: the lights should go off, and the engine noise should cease completely for a successful shutdown. Before turning off the engine, remember to switch off the air conditioning, headlights, and other accessories to avoid unnecessary battery drain. I recall one time parking on a slope without engaging the handbrake—the car still wobbled after shutting down, so I quickly pulled it up for safety. Developing this habit is quite reassuring: ensure a clean shutdown before locking up and leaving. Oh, and a tip for beginners: never experiment with shutting off while driving—it's damaging and dangerous. Coming to a steady stop is key.
