The method to turn off the rear lights of the Volkswagen Magotan is: you can turn them off from the driver's seat or from the control panel in the rear. The dimensions of the FAW-Volkswagen Magotan are 4865mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The new Magotan continues with the TSI and DSG combination, offering three different displacement engines: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and 2.0TSI. In addition, the flagship model is equipped with a 3.0V6 FSI engine. Among them, the 1.4TSI and 1.8TSI models are paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission, while the 2.0TSI model comes with a 6-speed DSG transmission.
Turning off the tail lights of the Volkswagen Magotan is actually quite simple. Normally, the tail lights will automatically turn off after the vehicle is turned off and locked. If you notice the tail lights remain on after locking, it's likely because the headlight switch is left in the parking light or low beam position. In this case, you need to return to the driver's seat and turn the light knob on the left side of the steering wheel to the far left OFF position. If the car is turned off but not yet locked, the tail lights will illuminate as an auxiliary lighting function when the door is opened, and they will automatically turn off about 30 seconds after closing the door. I usually make it a habit to turn the light knob back to the OFF position before parking, as this is the safest approach. If the tail lights remain on even after turning the knob to OFF, you should check if the door is not properly closed or if there's an issue with the vehicle's electrical circuit. Additionally, it's advisable to develop the habit of walking around the car to check the lights after locking, to avoid unexpected battery drain at night.
I've been driving my Magotan for three years, and at first, I also didn't understand how to turn off the taillights. Actually, in most cases, the lights will automatically turn off after you turn off the engine and lock the car. But if you manually turned on the lights, such as rotating the light knob to the position with the small cat-eye symbol for parking lights, you have to turn them off yourself. Just rotate the patterned knob on the left side of the steering wheel back to the far left OFF position. If you find the taillights still on after getting out of the car, don't rush to restart the car. Try opening and then firmly closing all the doors—sometimes the lights stay on if a door isn't properly closed. Once, when I was resting at a service area, I noticed the taillights were on and almost drained the battery. Later, I found out it was because the trunk wasn't fully closed. Remember: locking the car immediately after turning off the engine is the most worry-free, as the system will automatically cut off all lighting circuits.
