Where is the ambient light switch for the Magotan?

The Magotan's ambient lights do not have a separate switch. They automatically turn on whenever the vehicle's low beam or high beam headlights are activated. Below are relevant details: 1. Although the Magotan's ambient lights cannot be manually turned on or off, their brightness can be adjusted through the settings in the vehicle's central control touchscreen. 2. The purpose of ambient lighting is to create an atmospheric light source inside the cabin, enhancing visual appeal and elevating the vehicle's premium feel. While providing some illumination, its primary function is decorative. The Magotan is a B-segment sedan launched by FAW-Volkswagen, built on the new MQB B platform.
I've been driving my Magotan for several years, and the ambient light switch is actually quite easy to locate. It's in the settings menu of the central control display, unlike conventional car lights which have physical buttons. After starting the car, tap the 'Vehicle' icon on the main screen, then scroll down to find the 'Interior Lighting' or 'Ambient Light' option. Once opened, you can adjust the color (such as blue or orange) and brightness—I prefer setting it to medium brightness to avoid distractions at night. The placement is quite intelligent, preventing accidental touches that could affect driving safety. For newer models, there might be a shortcut setting via the multifunction buttons near the steering wheel. Remember, don’t fiddle with the screen while driving; it's best to operate it when parked. Ambient lights enhance comfort and help relieve stress during long trips, but don’t rely on them too much—they’re just an auxiliary feature. If you can’t find it, check the vehicle manual or contact the 4S dealership—they’ve helped me out a few times.
