Where is the tire reset button for the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
The tire reset button for the Volkswagen Magotan is located on the side of the gear shift lever. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold this button. When you hear a beep, the tire pressure reset is complete. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. The Magotan is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2812mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
I previously drove a 2019 Magotan, and the tire reset button is located in the multifunction button area on the right side of the steering wheel, usually marked with a SET symbol. Here's how to do it: First, park the car and turn off the engine, then turn the key to the second position without starting the engine. After a while, press and hold the SET button for a few seconds until the dashboard light flashes, and that's it. Why is resetting necessary? For example, after installing new tires or inflating them, the system might falsely indicate low tire pressure. Pressing the button allows it to recalibrate. I recommend making it a habit to check tire pressure at least once a month, keeping it around 2.5 bar for safe driving and avoiding emergencies. Don’t underestimate this feature—last summer, a friend of mine didn’t reset it before getting on the highway, and the warning light kept flashing, nearly causing an accident. Luckily, he was driving slowly and pulled over in time. Volkswagen’s design is quite thoughtful—the steering wheel placement makes it easy to operate without struggling to find the button.
