The jack of the Magotan is located under the trunk mat, placed together with the spare tire. According to structural characteristics, jacks can be categorized into: rack jacks, screw jacks, and hydraulic jacks. A jack refers to a lightweight lifting device that uses a rigid lifting component as the working device to lift heavy objects within a small stroke through the top support or bottom claw. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with exterior body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

I've been driving my Magotan for almost ten years, and I remember the location of the jack very clearly—it's under the floor in the trunk. You need to lift the trunk mat, and you'll usually find a dedicated slot or tool kit pouch near the spare tire, where the jack and wrench are stored. I learned my lesson the first time I changed a tire—I was in a hurry during heavy rain and forgot to level the ground, nearly causing the car to slide downhill. Since then, I always use bricks to stabilize the wheels before working. The location isn’t hard to find, but it’s best for beginners to check the user manual diagrams first, as it might be in the left corner or above the spare tire on the right, depending on the model. Regularly applying lubricant to the jack’s threads prevents rust and jamming—after all, this tool is a lifesaver in emergencies. The Magotan’s overall design is quite practical, and getting familiar with its little details can make daily driving much smoother.

As a new owner of the Magotan, I was a bit nervous about finding the jack. I was told it's in the trunk when I bought the car, but it took me several tries to locate it when I first got the car—it's hidden in the compartment under the trunk floor mat, near the left or right spare tire. It's best to lift the mat and feel around for it, just take your time. Before using it, make sure the car is parked on level ground, the handbrake is engaged, and the hazard lights are on to prevent accidents. The first time I changed a tire, I wasn't familiar with the tools and twisted the wrong screw, but luckily nothing was damaged. I recommend practicing removing and installing a small tire first to avoid messing up in a critical situation. Also, the vehicle manual has clear diagrams showing the location, and it's best for beginners to download an electronic version for quick reference. The Magotan's setup is quite thoughtful and not complicated, but it can be a bit confusing at first—just get familiar with it a few times, and it'll become second nature.

I've been following car design for years, and the Magotan's jack placement is quite practical. It's usually located under the floor in the trunk area near the spare tire well—just lift the mat to find a compactly stacked toolkit containing the jack and wrench. The exact position might be in the left groove, varying slightly by model year; for example, the 2018 version hides it under the right-side partition. When using it, make sure to locate the correct chassis support points to avoid damaging the car. Regular maintenance like checking the jack's condition and applying lubricant to prevent rust is crucial. Volkswagen has optimized this module in the Magotan efficiently, with reasonable space utilization, making it safe and easy even for beginners to operate.

Can Secondary Ignition Be Detected?

Secondary ignition can be detected. If the vehicle stalls after driving through water and someone manually uses the starter to ignite and operate the engine, this is considered a secondary start. Precautions for driving through water are as follows: When encountering standing water on the road, slow down and assess the water level. If the water reaches two-thirds of the tire height, driving through it poses a certain risk, and it is advised not to force passage. Maintain a low speed when driving through water, as higher speeds can raise the water level, increasing the actual depth of the water. Additionally, ensure you do not stop, shift gears, or reduce throttle, maintaining medium-to-high throttle at low speed to pass through. If the engine stalls while driving through water, do not attempt to restart it. In such cases, it is likely that water has entered the engine, and restarting will only cause more severe damage.

Why is Secondary Ignition Not Covered by Insurance?

Secondary ignition is considered a human-caused factor, and vehicle damages resulting from human causes are not covered by the insurance policy. Below is relevant information about secondary ignition: Introduction: During water wading, if water blocks the air intake and causes the vehicle to stall, attempting to restart the engine is referred to as secondary ignition. Precautions: It is important to note that even if the water on the road has receded, you should avoid attempting to restart the engine, as there may still be water in the intake pipe, and electrical systems may malfunction after being submerged. The best course of action is to contact a towing company. Do not try to save on towing fees at the risk of causing greater damage. When arranging for a tow, clearly communicate to the staff that the vehicle stalled during water wading. For easier towing, the towing company may shift the gear to neutral. Without understanding the situation, they might attempt to start the engine, so it is crucial to explain the circumstances clearly.

What is the sequence for rotating car tires front to back?

Here is the introduction to the sequence for rotating car tires front to back: 1. Move the left front tire to the left rear position. 2. Move the right front tire to the right rear position. 3. Move the left rear tire to the right front position. 4. Move the right rear tire to the left front position. 5. Regular tire rotation ensures more even wear across all four tires. Tires are one of the most important components of a car, and their functions are as follows: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and off-road performance. 3. Work with the car's suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 4. Protect car components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy.

What are the causes of brake light failure?

The causes of brake light failure include the following: 1. Brake system failure: Damage to the brake fluid pipe causing severe oil shortage in the brake system; low oil level in the brake fluid reservoir leading to failure of the float-type sensor, resulting in the brake warning light not illuminating or lighting up to indicate a brake system fault; severe wear of brake pads, pre-buried wire breakage causing brake system failure; the brake warning system itself failing; simple circuit faults such as short circuits and the generation of steam in the brake fluid pipes causing brake system failure. The solution to such brake system failures causing the brake light not to illuminate is to seek professional repair at a maintenance shop. 2. Brake bulb failure: Mainly refers to the brake bulb exceeding its service life, with current halogen brake bulbs having a lifespan of 1 2 years. To solve this type of problem, LED lights can be used instead, with a lifespan of 5 10 years, low power consumption, fast response speed, no delay in lighting up, and being environmentally friendly without pollution. 3. Brake switch failure: Mainly refers to poor contact of the switch behind the brake pedal. The solution for this type of brake light not illuminating is relatively simple—just replace the brake switch.

What is the minimum speed for second gear?

The speed in second gear should not be lower than 10 km/h. A manual transmission car uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also called manual transmission, MT) to adjust the vehicle speed. This means you need to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear-speed matching requirements during the driving test (Subject 3) are as follows: first gear allows 0-20 km/h, shift to second gear at 15-20 km/h; second gear allows 10-30 km/h, shift to third gear at 25-30 km/h; third gear allows 20-40 km/h, shift to fourth gear at 35-40 km/h; fourth gear allows 30-50 km/h, shift to fifth gear at 45-50 km/h.
