How to use the key to open the door of a Volkswagen car?
2 Answers
There are two methods to open the door of a Volkswagen car using the key: 1. Mechanical key: Pull out the mechanical key and insert it directly into the keyhole, then rotate to unlock the door; 2. Remote key: Simply press the unlock button to open the door. Volkswagen models include: Magotan, Lavida, Phaeton, Golf, Passat, etc. Taking the Magotan 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Magotan 2020 model is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150ps and a maximum power of 110kw, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When I use the car key to unlock the door, I usually check if it's a remote key first. Most Volkswagen keys have button markings—just press the unlock button to open the door. If the distance is too far or the signal is weak, move closer. If the remote fails, don’t worry—there’s a small metal piece on the key that can be pulled out. It’s a hidden mechanical key that can be inserted into the lock cylinder on the door handle. A gentle twist will open it. I recommend beginners practice this backup method more, as the remote battery might die or face interference. Keep the key in your pocket for easy access. This design is quite thoughtful, reducing the hassle of being locked out. After opening the door, remember to check if the lights are on to ensure safety.
