The tire pressure monitoring button on the Magotan is located on the center console. The tire pressure monitoring system equipped in the Magotan can display the tire pressure on the combination instrument display. While driving, you can see the tire pressure status of all four tires on the car's dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the car's tires in real-time and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure. The new Magotan was designed by the team behind the Volkswagen Phaeton. From the front, the overall design of the new Magotan resembles the X-shape of the Phaeton, with extensive chrome accents and the use of dual horizontal lines, exuding a noble and majestic presence.

I used to drive an old Passat, and it was really troublesome to find the tire pressure monitoring button back then. The new model is much more convenient—the button is located on the inner side of the glovebox near the gear lever on the center console, and you have to look down to see it. It’s marked with a tire and exclamation point symbol, and pressing it resets the tire pressure system. I remember when I first got the car, I spent a long time searching for it on the steering wheel, only to realize later that Volkswagen tends to place function buttons here. Actually, the car manual clearly marks the specific location, but after adjusting the tire pressure and pressing this button to reset, it’s best to check if there are any punctures or leaks in the tires first to ensure the monitoring data is accurate. The position varies slightly between different model years—my 2016 model has it in the lower left corner inside the glovebox.

Last time I accompanied my friend to the 4S store for a test drive of the Magotan, I happened to notice the location of the tire pressure button. It's hidden in the bottom row of buttons on the center console, right below the air conditioning knob near the passenger seat, with a tire symbol and a wavy line on it. The salesperson said holding it down for three seconds can reset the monitoring system. In Japanese cars I've driven, the button is usually under the steering wheel, so Volkswagen's design might feel unfamiliar at first, but it becomes quite handy once you get used to it. If you can't find it, I recommend checking the owner's manual directly. The new Magotan might have integrated this function into the center screen, but the physical button remains in the same old location. It's best to remember this button for quick handling when the tire pressure warning goes off.

The tire pressure button for the Magotan is located in the button area on the right side of the gear lever, with an icon resembling a deflated tire. During the last maintenance, the technician mentioned that most Volkswagen models place it in this position. Pressing it will make the tire pressure light on the dashboard blink a few times to complete the calibration. Remember to only press it when the tire pressure is normal, otherwise the data may be incorrect. Newer models might have switched to touchscreen operation, but the older versions with physical buttons are all located here. Be careful not to accidentally press it when cleaning the dashboard during car washes. Last time, I accidentally pressed it, and the tire pressure light stayed on for a whole day.
