Tiguan cancels the tire pressure warning method is: 1. Press and hold the tire pressure button to turn off the warning light, then press the tire pressure button again; 2. Turn off the car and restart it; 3. Press and hold the tire pressure button again, and the tire pressure warning will be eliminated. Taking the Tiguan 2017 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2684mm, fuel tank capacity 63l, luggage compartment capacity 400 to 1530l. The Tiguan 2017 model is equipped with a 1.8t turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 118kw and a maximum torque of 250nm, matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
I've been driving the Tiguan for several years. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, don't rush to dismiss it. First, find a safe place to stop and check the tire pressure. The recommended values are the numbers labeled on the driver's side door frame. Use a pressure gauge to measure each tire, and inflate if the pressure is low. After the pressure is normal, reset the system: park and turn off the engine, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the dashboard menu, find the vehicle settings, select the tire pressure monitoring system, and press the confirm button to reset. Wait about ten seconds for the light to go off. If the light keeps coming on, it might be due to slow leakage, temperature effects, or aging sensors, and it's recommended to have it checked at a professional shop. It's a good habit to manually check the tire pressure once a month, which is more reliable than relying solely on the system.
In my experience, resetting the tire pressure warning on the Tiguan isn't that difficult. First, ensure the tire pressure meets the standard values - if it's low, use an air pump to inflate to the recommended pressure marked on the door frame. Reset procedure: Start the engine in P gear, tap the vehicle settings icon on the center console screen, select the tire pressure option and confirm the reset. Newer Tiguan models might be simpler with direct voice command operation. If the light remains after resetting, drive a few kilometers to let the system self-check. Frequent warnings could indicate wheel rim deformation, sensor malfunction, or driving habits causing tire temperature fluctuations - address these early to avoid blowout risks. Having tire conditions checked during regular maintenance can save much hassle.
To cancel the tire pressure warning on the Tiguan, here's what I usually do: Park the car and check the tire pressure, inflate to the standard value, and remember not to overinflate or underinflate. Then, get in the car, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the settings menu, find the tire pressure reset option, and press confirm. After the warning light goes off, take a test drive to see if the system is working properly. If the issue persists, it might be an electrical problem or the sensor may need replacement. Safety first—never ignore the warning light. Correct tire pressure can extend tire life and reduce fuel consumption.
