How to Check Tire Pressure Data on Volkswagen Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan L is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure values are displayed on the central information screen of the instrument panel. To view the tire pressure data, simply check the information screen. Tire Pressure Precautions: 1. Observe Tire Condition Before Travel: For radial tires, commonly known as low-pressure tires, as long as the aspect ratio is not too low, it is normal if they feel very elastic when pressed with your foot and not too soft. For high-pressure tires, which are bias-ply tires with inner tubes, it is normal if the tire shoulder does not bulge when viewed from the front (commonly referred to as 'not bulging') and the contact area with the ground appears similar to usual when viewed from the side. 2. Regular Inspection: Under normal circumstances, check and replenish the tire pressure weekly at a professional tire repair shop.
As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I always make it a habit to check the tire pressure data after starting my Volkswagen Tiguan L. First, you get in the car and turn on the ignition, then the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel are key—press and hold the button on the right side to enter the dashboard's main menu. Use the scroll wheel or touch controls to select the 'Vehicle Information' option, then navigate to the 'Tire Monitoring' section to view the tire pressure values for all four wheels, usually displayed in PSI or bar. It's best to check when the car is cold in the morning for accurate readings. If the values are low or the system alerts you, don't take it lightly—immediately inspect the tires visually or visit a service station to inflate them. I also use this feature regularly to prevent the risk of blowouts, especially before long highway drives, as it enhances driving stability and safety, helping to avoid accidents. Remember, tire pressure affects fuel efficiency and handling, and the Tiguan L's system is designed to be intuitive, making it easy even for beginners to use.
