Where is the handbrake of the Magotan located?

[Rodney]

The handbrake of the Magotan is located next to the headlight knob. The function of the handbrake is to brake when parking on flat ground or slopes, preventing the vehicle from automatically sliding when unattended, thereby avoiding traffic accidents. Taking the 2020 Comfort model Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The front suspension of the 2020 Comfort model Magotan is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Magotan for several years, having tried both the 2018 and 2021 models. The parking brake position is particularly easy to locate. In the newer Magotan models, it's an electronic button located near the center armrest, right next to the gear lever with a small 'P' icon—just press it and a red light indicates activation. For older models like those before 2010, it might still be a traditional lever positioned between the seats. The first time I drove one, it took me a while to find it, but later I realized the design was very thoughtful—it's within easy reach without needing to bend over. The electronic parking brake is super convenient, activating instantly after parking and even enabling auto-hold at red lights to free your feet. In short, a quick glance around the right side of the driver's console area will help you locate it—no need to worry about not finding it. If you're driving an older model, I recommend regularly checking the lever's flexibility to avoid jamming, which could affect safety.

As a car tech enthusiast, I analyzed the design principle of the Magotan's handbrake. It's positioned centrally towards the front of the center console on the right side of the driver's seat. This location is cleverly chosen for unobstructed operation. Most modern Magotan models use electronic systems to replace mechanical levers, with buttons offering quick response and high integration. After parking, a light press automatically activates the system's force detection to prevent rollback. Its proximity to the gearshift and mode selection buttons ensures clear logic for one-touch parking brake activation. My research shows Magotan has progressively upgraded since the B7 generation, enhancing safety performance for greater stability and reliability. Daily use tips: avoid operating with wet hands and keep the button clean. In case of button failure, try the foot brake as an emergency measure and contact a repair shop to check for poor circuit contact.

As a new driver who just got a Magotan, it took me some time to locate the parking brake. Instead of the old-fashioned lever, it's a small button on the center console next to the gear shift, marked with a 'P' symbol. After parking, pressing it lights up the indicator, and releasing it is equally simple. Its position is convenient - right within reach of the driver's right hand without any effort. Initially, I expected a lever but after fumbling around, I found the button operation to be effortless and efficient. For temporary stops while driving, a light press ensures safety and stability. If you're also a new driver, practicing a few times will help you get accustomed to its well-designed, user-friendly, and efficient placement.
