The trunk sensor on the Magotan is located directly below the Volkswagen logo on the trunk lid. When activating it, you need to extend your foot in and then pull it out slowly. Here is some relevant information: 1. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under the Volkswagen brand, which has gained popularity among many consumers in China. The exterior design of the Volkswagen Magotan is mature and steady, while the interior design is also visually appealing with a certain sense of premium quality. 2. The purpose of the hands-free trunk opening feature is to allow the trunk to be opened without manually pressing a button when carrying items. Typically, with the key fob on your person, the driver only needs to sweep their foot under the rear bumper sensor, and the trunk lid will automatically open, making it convenient for owners carrying items in both hands. To close the trunk, the operation is the same as opening it—simply sweep your foot gently under the rear bumper again, or you can press the button on the trunk lid to complete the closing process.

I've personally used the trunk sensor function on the Magotan. The sensor is hidden under the central position of the rear bumper, almost directly below the rear license plate. When I park with my hands full and can't easily open the door, a gentle swipe of my foot underneath opens it, which is super practical. If you can't find it, just crouch down and you'll spot that small device—it's inconspicuous but very effective. Common issues like sensor failure are mostly due to dust or water stains blocking the sensor area; keeping it clean usually solves the problem, or you can check if the function is enabled in the car settings. The location is designed for ease of use, with little difference between new and old models, but if it's slow to respond on rainy days, don't worry—just try again once it's dry. Overall, it's a thoughtful detail in the Magotan, with a fixed and easy-to-remember location. During repairs, avoid excessive impact on this area to prevent circuit damage.

My car repair experience tells me that the trunk sensor position of the Magotan is at the center bottom of the rear bumper, near the area below the license plate. When operating, just gently sweep your foot over the sensor without applying too much force to avoid damage. Sometimes owners report the sensor isn't working; I recommend first checking the fuse or loose wiring. Common causes include sensor dirt buildup or low battery power, and cleaning it monthly can prevent malfunctions. The location is well-chosen to reduce accidental triggers, but always be mindful of the surrounding safety when parking. If manual trunk opening is difficult, try checking the lock mechanism. The sensor part is relatively reliable, but regular maintenance is key. The Magotan's sensor design is similar to other Volkswagen models, offering convenience in use, but don't overlook routine maintenance.

When driving my Magotan, I find the trunk sensor super convenient. The sensor is located right below the center of the rear bumper, near the bottom of the license plate. It's very easy to use – just a quick foot swipe and the trunk pops open. The position is easy to locate without any hassle. If you're carrying stuff and don't want to fumble for keys, this feature saves a lot of trouble. Don't panic if the sensor stops working; just check for dirt blocking it or if the setting is turned off. Its stable positioning minimizes accidental triggers. For daily use, keeping the area clean is recommended, though it might be slightly less responsive on rainy days. This function really makes life easier.

How Long After Production is a Car Considered Inventory?

Inventory car is a term used in the automotive sales industry, generally referring to vehicles that have been in stock for more than three months or half a year. For imported cars, due to factors like transportation cycles, if they have been in stock for over a year, they can also be referred to as inventory cars. Below are methods to determine if a car is an inventory car: Is the paint smooth: Always wash the car before inspection and check if the paint shows signs of fading or if the paint surface is even. Is the battery drained: Without starting the engine, test power-consuming devices like the horn, high beams, and radio to see if they function properly. Are rubber components aged: Compared to other parts of the vehicle, rubber components are more sensitive to weather. Across different seasons, variations in temperature, humidity, and acid rain levels can affect these parts. Therefore, after prolonged storage, rubber components such as tires, door seals, and wipers may show signs of aging due to weather exposure.

Can a cross-province temporary license plate only be issued once?

Cross-province temporary license plates can only be issued once, with a validity period not exceeding 30 days. One temporary plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, and another to the lower left corner of the rear windshield. Temporary license plates serve as a provisional permit for vehicles to drive legally while awaiting the issuance of formal plates, carrying the same legal authority as standard plates. They must be properly displayed and remain valid when driving. Key considerations for using temporary plates include: 1. Temporary plates are only valid within designated areas; 2. Required documents must be prepared for application; 3. New vehicles must obtain temporary plates before driving; 4. Local temporary plates are valid for 7 days.
