The steps to start a Magotan are: press the brake pedal and press the one-button start button. The 2020 Magotan is a mid-size sedan with a body size of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a curb weight of 1445kg. The 2020 Magotan features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving my Magotan for almost ten years, and the starting procedure has to be done step by step. First, sit firmly in the driver's seat, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt securely—safety first. Then press the brake pedal; an automatic transmission car won't start without pressing the brake. If it's a traditional key ignition, insert the key and turn it to the ON position. Wait for the dashboard lights to come on and perform a self-check for a second or two, then turn to START, and the engine will roar to life. The keyless version is even simpler—just press the start button while holding the brake. After starting, don't rush to drive; let the engine idle for half a minute until the RPM stabilizes. Cold starts in winter can be tough, so wait for the car to warm up a bit before shifting to D and releasing the electronic or manual handbrake to move off. Be careful not to start the engine in a closed garage—carbon monoxide is dangerous, and beginners often forget this. I always check fuel and coolant levels daily, and regular maintenance helps avoid sudden breakdowns. The Magotan handles smoothly, but these good habits can extend its lifespan by several years.

As a driving enthusiast, I find the Magotan's startup process quite intriguing. The first step after getting in the car is to firmly press the brake pedal – whether using a key or button, pressing it initiates system self-check, with flashing dashboard lights indicating everything's normal before engine start. Keyless start is the most satisfying – just approach the car with the key, press the brake and button for instant ignition, full of technological sophistication. Never skip the self-check during startup – it helps detect weak batteries or warning lights in advance. Once the engine runs smoothly, shift to D gear, gently release the handbrake and you're off. Common issues include beginners forgetting to press the brake (causing startup failure) or needing to replace dead key batteries. I routinely check tire pressure and lights to prevent unexpected problems. While the Magotan delivers quick power response, smoother startups make for better driving.

Starting the Magotan is straightforward and practical. After sitting down, firmly press the brake pedal—this is a must for automatic transmissions. Insert the key, turn it to ON, wait for the self-check to complete, then START the engine, or simply press the button while holding the brake. Once the engine starts, wait a few seconds for the idle speed to stabilize before shifting to D and releasing the electronic parking brake to move off. The entire process takes about 30 seconds. The key point is to press the brake firmly; otherwise, the start button won’t work. Also, pay attention to safety inside and outside the car—scan your surroundings before getting in, and after starting, check the dashboard to ensure no warning lights are on before driving safely. The differences between new and old Magotan models are minimal, so mastering these basic steps is all you need.
