Simply toggle the vehicle's power supply. Below is a detailed introduction about the Magotan: 1. Overview: The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the FutureB6, which is closely related to the Passat B6. It is the first B-segment sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since the establishment of the plant. "Ma" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism; "Teng" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. 2. Safety: The new Magotan inherits the high technological standards of German sedans. In terms of active safety, the Magotan 1.8TSI and all models in the series are equipped with the highest level of ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent the vehicle from skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds.
Last time when I was driving my Magotan, the interior light suddenly stayed on continuously, which really scared me. I quickly got out to check if all the doors and trunk were properly closed, and found that the rear door was slightly loose. After firmly closing it, the light went off. If the switch is set to the 'on' position, I manually turn it to door sensor mode or turn it off. Another trick is to wait a few minutes after locking the car to see if the light turns off automatically; if not, disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it, which might reset the system. Remember that a constantly lit light can drain the battery, potentially preventing the car from starting the next day, so I always keep a small toolkit handy to check if the corresponding fuse in the fuse box has blown. If all else fails, it's best to visit a 4S shop and have a technician scan for sensor faults with a computer, as saving both money and hassle is what matters most.
As someone who has repaired cars for many years, I often see this issue. The interior light not turning off usually has simple causes. First, check if all doors, including the trunk, are properly closed—sometimes debris in the door gaps can affect the sensor. Adjust the switch to the middle automatic position. Then, check if the headlight switch or dome light control button is stuck or worn out. For the fuse, locate number F32 or similar in the fuse box and replace it according to the manual. If all these are normal, it might be a loose battery or wiring connection. If you can't fix it yourself, contact a repair shop to scan for computer fault codes. Paying attention to the light status before parking can prevent premature battery failure.
It's really annoying when the interior light stays on while driving with kids, not only wasting electricity but also disturbing rest. I found that the light switch in the Magotan is usually on the ceiling, and a gentle turn to the off position does the trick. The key is to ensure every door is properly closed, including front and rear doors as well as the trunk. Once, my daughter's backpack got stuck in the door, causing the light to stay on. If adjusting the switch doesn’t work, try restarting the car engine once. If the light remains on for several hours, there might be an issue with the car battery, so address it promptly. Now, I make it a habit to do a quick check before parking every time, which helps avoid unnecessary trouble.
