Why is the REST light not working in the Magotan?

The reasons why the REST light is not working in the Magotan: 1. The vehicle is not turned off, as the REST button can only be used after the vehicle is turned off; 2. If the button still does not light up after the vehicle is turned off, it indicates a problem, and it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop for inspection. The function of the REST button is residual heat heating, which utilizes the residual heat of the engine to provide warm air inside the car after the engine is turned off, preventing a rapid drop in temperature. The heating duration is generally half an hour before automatically shutting off. The Magotan originates from the Future B6, which is closely related to the Passat B6. The vehicle's dimensions are 4865 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1475 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812 mm. In terms of appearance, the Magotan's body and rear design showcase the designer's trend-following approach, with elegant and smooth side lines for a more dynamic look, and the rear light clusters are agile and harmonious.
I've been driving a Magotan for a while, and a few days ago I also encountered the issue of the REST button not lighting up, which was really frustrating. I guess the most common reason is a malfunction with the button itself, possibly due to a burnt-out small bulb or aging contacts from years of pressing. Another possibility is a blown fuse—the Magotan's fuse box is usually located in the toolbox under the driver's seat, so you can check the manual for its exact location and use a multimeter or visual inspection to see if it's blown. If these are ruled out, it might be a loose or damp wiring connection, especially after rain or if water got in during a car wash. Only as a last resort should you consider a control module issue, which would require a diagnosis at a 4S shop. The REST function is quite handy in winter, keeping the car warm for a while after parking, so not having it fixed feels like something's missing. I recommend doing a simple check yourself first, and if that doesn’t work, take it in for repairs.
