Volkswagen Magotan's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box above the passenger footwell. Remove the lower protective panel to see the filter. Functions of the air conditioning filter: 1. Ensure the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separate dust, pollen, and solid particles from the air; 3. Prevent car windows from fogging up, maintaining clear visibility and ensuring driving safety; 4. Provide fresh air to the cabin, preventing the inhalation of harmful gases; 5. Maintain clean cabin air, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment.

In the Volkswagen Magotan, the cabin air filter is usually located in the footwell of the front passenger seat, right behind the glove compartment. I've had the experience of replacing it myself a few times—just open the glove compartment door, and you'll see a plastic cover. Remove a few clips, pull it open, and you can take out the old filter. When doing this, remember to note the airflow direction arrow to avoid installing it backward, which would affect filtration efficiency. The design of this location in the Magotan is very convenient, allowing DIY replacement to save both money and time spent at the shop. Regular replacement improves cabin air quality, especially beneficial for people with asthma. It's recommended to check it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, adjusting flexibly based on road conditions and environment. In short, once you get familiar with it, you'll find maintaining your beloved car isn't difficult at all.

What does it mean when the ETC flashes red?

ETC flashing red indicates that the ETC card is not properly inserted. Normally, when the ETC card is correctly inserted, the light will flash green once, followed by a prompt indicating whether it is a credit card or a stored-value card. Therefore, if the device flashes red, check if the card is not inserted properly. Here is additional information: 1. The fully automatic electronic toll collection system is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system, which is particularly suitable for use in highways or busy bridge and tunnel environments. 2. Currently, there are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations. As long as the vehicle owner installs a sensor card on the front windshield and preloads funds, there is no need for manual payment or stopping at the toll station. The highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection.
