The reversing radar control box of the Magotan is located near the trunk in the rear seat area. Additional information is as follows: 1. Reversing Radar: The reversing radar mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. When reversing, the reversing radar uses ultrasonic principles. The sensors mounted on the rear bumper emit ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, calculating the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, then alerting the driver to ensure safer parking or reversing. 2. Magotan 1.8TSI: The new Magotan continues 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 ESP electronic stability program, which effectively prevents the vehicle from skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds, thereby maximizing the safety of both the driver and the vehicle, making the active safety of the Magotan even better.
As a technician with over ten years of experience in automotive repair, I have dealt with numerous radar system issues in Volkswagen models. Regarding the location of the radar control unit for the 2017 Magotan B8, it is typically installed inside the front bumper or near the front grille area. For parking assist radars, the unit is often fixed on the bumper bracket, while the adaptive cruise control unit is hidden behind the grille to protect it from impacts. When replacing, carefully remove the bumper cover to avoid damaging the wiring connections. Common issues include poor wiring contact or moisture damage to the module. It's advisable to consult the vehicle manual or seek professional service before inspection to ensure accurate positioning and prevent affecting system performance. In daily maintenance, keeping the bumper clean and avoiding rinsing after harsh weather can extend the radar's lifespan.
