How to adjust the height of the Touareg steering wheel?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the height of the Touareg steering wheel is: 1. There is a button below the steering wheel. Lift the pressure plate lever, and the steering wheel can then be adjusted; 2. For the electric button, moving it up and down raises or lowers the vertical height of the steering wheel, while pulling it forward or backward moves the steering wheel forward or backward. In terms of body dimensions, the Touareg series has a length of 5039 mm, a width of 1989 mm, a height of 1773 mm, and a wheelbase of 2980 mm. In terms of configuration, the Touareg is equipped with three types of engines: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine.
Adjusting the height of the Touareg's steering wheel is actually quite intuitive. As an experienced driver of many years, I believe safety comes first—you must park and turn off the engine before making any adjustments. Once seated in the driver's seat, feel for the lever directly beneath the steering wheel. Pulling it will unlock the wheel, allowing you to freely push it up or pull it down to adjust the height. The ideal position is when your wrists naturally rest on the wheel and your knees don’t interfere with your legs. Don’t forget that the fore-aft position can also be adjusted in a similar way—getting both settings right in one go saves hassle. This adjustment is especially useful for long drives, as a proper posture helps prevent fatigue and enhances focus to avoid accidents. When I was younger, I didn’t adjust it properly and ended up with back pain that affected my driving. Now, I’ve learned my lesson and always set the height first. For beginners, if the lever feels stiff, don’t force it—just try gently a few times until you get the hang of it.
