How to Activate Cruise Control in the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The cruise control switch for the Tiguan L is located in the functional area on the right side of the steering wheel. To activate cruise control, move the switch to the "ON" position; to deactivate it, move the switch to the "OFF" position. Please use cruise control under the premise of ensuring driving safety, typically on highways, sparsely populated areas, or well-developed suburban road networks. Precautions when using cruise control: 1. Braking by the driver: Cruise control requires the driver to manually apply the brakes; adaptive cruise control will automatically brake. 2. Cruise control deactivates upon braking: The set speed value is still retained, and cruise control can be manually restored. 3. Situations where cruise control should not be activated: Using cruise control on winding, steep, bumpy, slippery roads, or in heavy traffic can be dangerous. Always turn off cruise control to avoid potential hazards.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for almost three years, and the cruise control is super convenient on highways. The activation method is to first accelerate the car to over 30 km/h, then look at the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, press the one marked RES or SET. It will remember the current speed and help control the throttle, so you don't have to keep pressing the accelerator, making long-distance driving much easier. Remember to use it only when road conditions are good and avoid using it in traffic jams—safety first. To cancel, just step on the brake; the operation is very simple. I use it every week on highways, and it helps save some fuel costs. The Tiguan L's cruise control is very stable, but occasional malfunctions might be due to dust in the buttons—just clean them or check the system settings.
