What are the automatic transmission gears of the Magotan like?
2 Answers
Magotan is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is a type of automatic transmission. Here is a brief introduction to the automatic transmission gears and their usage in the Magotan: P (Parking Gear): The vehicle must be completely stopped before engaging the P gear; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. R (Reverse Gear): Unlike manual transmission vehicles, automatic transmission vehicles do not have a semi-clutch function, so special attention should be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. Typically, you need to press the safety button on the shift lever to move it to the R position. N (Neutral Gear): To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always apply the brake when in neutral. Place the shift lever in the N position. While waiting at a traffic light or in heavy traffic, the gear selector is often kept in the D position with the brake pedal pressed. D (Drive Gear): The D gear generally includes gears from 1st to the highest or from 2nd to the highest, and it automatically shifts based on changes in speed and load. During normal driving, place the gear selector in the D position, and the driver can control the speed by adjusting the accelerator pedal. S (Sport Mode Gear): In S (Sport) mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed to maintain higher engine RPMs for a longer period, thereby increasing the vehicle's power output.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years, and its automatic gear position is simple and practical, located on the gear lever to the right of the steering wheel. When parking, you need to shift to P gear to prevent the car from rolling, especially on slopes; after ignition, shift to R gear for reversing, N gear for neutral when temporarily stopping, such as at traffic lights to save fuel, and D gear is the most commonly used for driving, smooth even in city traffic jams. I also often use S gear for high-speed driving, with fast gear shifts and exhilarating acceleration, making overtaking more confident. The manual mode allows for playing with gear shifts, pushing the lever up to upshift and pulling down to downshift, offering a fun, race-car-like experience. The gear design is responsive, making driving comfortable, and maintenance is simple—just wiping the gear lever during each car wash keeps it clean and durable.
